And now, for the outside!

We have spent quite some time focusing on the interior of our house. At first, it was of necessity, then it was due to the weather! Now that it is finally starting to be nice enough to go outside without a jacket of some sort, and that we have finished most of our major projects inside the house, we turn our attention to the outside of the house.

And what do we find? Well, we weren't entirely sure what we might see come up during the spring, but one thing is sure - we have a lot of bushes!

At the back of our house...

At the front of our house...

On the side of our house...
Bushes, bushes, everywhere! (No these are not all the bushes surrounding our house - only a sampling!)
This is a funny bush on the side of our house...
...Notice the shovel holding it up!
And this pyramid-shaped one is my mom's particular favorite - just an odd little thing on the side of our porch.
So in all of this greenery, shrubbery, bushery, it was nice to finally find something that wasn't just a bush. Yes, it is still a bush for most of the year, but for a couple weeks out of the year, it becomes something much more beautiful!



We'll see what else might pop up, but personally I'm waiting for the neighboring rhododendrons to open!
