Last year Matt's mom was nice enough to come over and plant flowers in my front yard, since Matt and I were so busy trying to get the inside livable. Here's what the garden looked like when we bought the house:

Unfortunately I don't have a photo of how it looked after Matt's mom planted the flowers last year, but here's a photo from last fall, where you can still see the impatients and ferns.

| You can see the pink impatiens and the 2 ferns next to the stairs. She also planted petunias next to the driveway, but you can't see them in this photo. |

Today I bought some new shrubs and flowers for the front garden. Matt dug up the dead shrub next to our front door. Here's what our garden looks like now:
 |
| We still have the hostas, lillies and roses in the strip. We are keeping the large bushes for now. |
 |
| Since some of the petunias from last year grew back, I decided to plant more. The large plants on the left are from last year. They really spread out! |
 |
| More petunias, and I planted 2 sweet spires behind them. I think I'm going to buy another one, because it seems like there's a lot of space. |
 |
| More petunias. |
 |
| I bought 2 boxes for the front steps, and filled them with impatiens. I also had a small planter that I filled with petunias. And the dead bush is gone! |
 |
| Pretty pink impatiens! |
I'm not sure what I'm going to do in front of the living room window. I might take out the bush and just start over. For now I'm happy with it, and ready for summer!
