Hi,
Well, spring is finally here and summer is coming up fast.
So I decided that I needed to add to the landscaping around the house.
The last couple of years I put in some ponds and fountains around the front of the house. I added rocks, shrubs,
ground cover etc. and got it looking pretty good. However, the front corner was never finished. I originally had the idea of putting in paver block and getting a little wrought iron "bistro" table and chair set and putting out there
but it never seemed to work out.
The city came and replaced the old fire hydrant on the corner with a new one. Well the old light came on and
I got the idea to incorporate that old fire hydrant into the landscaping. Having previously acquired some rustic
retaining wall block and an old bathtub (well, it wasn't that old, but that is a story unto itself) and other stuff.
I painted the tub and buried it in the ground added some nice rocks, shrubs, flowers, fire hydrant, pump & hose,
gravel and ended up with a nice addition to my landscaping. Of course it never ends we still have to plant our flowers along the south side of the pool and east of the shed we have some work to do in that flower
garden yet, but I'm hoping to get it finished sometime while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.
