This week was busy! We started off the week with having Monday off, so the kids and I headed over to their favorite Riverview park with some friends. It was a fun morning...
Meanwhile back at home we had some workers come over to put in a pathway and rock. We had spent about 2 weeks pulling out these big bushes out in front of our house, all of the curbing and all of the grass. The cactus directly in front of our front door came out about 6 months ago, I believe....so this is a before shot...
We loved the big bushes because they would shade the front window in the summer, but I didn't like the way that it blocked our house so much. So I ripped them out:)
And then this is after...I built a new garden bed under the big front window and planted some flowers there and we also planted an aloe pant, an ice plant and a native Arizona flowering plant. Hopefully we can keep them alive, everyone loves the new pathway!
It's hard to see the pathway because it blends right in with the rock, which is pretty cool. You can see it close up, we also got new solar shades for our front windows so that I don't have to worry about the sun in the summer. Plus I can spy on my neighbors all day long and they will never know that I'm spying on them!! hahaha!! For real though:) haha!
