Landscaping a front garden
After I completed the paver installation in 2013 ( LINK ), it was time to finish the rest of the front landscaping. As always, I am not a contractor; there may be better ways to do this. Also very important, call your local utilities and have…
Christmas tree is setup
Ok, it might be a bit early to do this – but hey, the longer we’ve got the tree up, the more we can enjoy it :) This is the first time, by the way, that we have ever had a Christmas tree set up…
