Almost all my life I have lived in New England, with two brief stints in Florida and Washington State. My wife and I have restored five 18th century homes so far as a hobby. We live with two dogs, Breeze and Maple, and our cats Hobie and Rudder.
My wife decided that a stone wall around the plantings in the front of the house is what we needed to finish things off. We had some stones left over from the front stairs so I built this little wall.
Today we had the front landscaping done. Here you can see the plants planted waiting to flower and grow leaves. When that happens it will look awesome.
Landscaping from a different angle.
This is what of the front of the house looked like just before the planting.
