This is where we want to put the extension to the drive
We temporarily set these stones in place to get the design down.
Every morning Sherri and I get up make coffee and sit out either on our porch or we just climb into our recliners and surf the internet. Maybe an occasional comment or a chuckle comes out but for the most part we keep to ourselves until the coffee has taken full control of our senses. Once that happens we start planning our day. We allow ourselves to get into full conversation at this time. I-pads and Chrome Books are set aside and we try to find something to do to occupy our time.
This morning our attention was turned toward the front of the house. Sherri has been concerned about the appearance of our shrubs and the lack of care they were given from the previous owners. We really needed to trim them up some and get them back into shape before the hot summer weather gets here.
OK this is project number one.
Then we talked about the need to clean up the bed to the left of the front porch. It had been overgrown with St Augustine grass over time and we wanted to reclaim it with mulch and boarder it off so we could set potted plants in it. Project number two.
Houses in the late 90's were designed for the new compact cars of the time. Small was the economical route in the car business and driveways and garages were built to accommodate those . Now with the big is better concept... putting two cars in the drive way is hard to do. Putting them in the garage is next to impossible. So project number three is to widen the driveway...not to drive on but to extend the space when you exit the vehicle.
Well I have set the stage for the next week of our lives...which looks like we will be spending some time in the home and garden centers.
Look out Home Depot we are on our way...
