After talking about curb appeal in a post earlier this week, it got us thinking about our own curb appeal. So, the weekend was a frenzy of Juniper trimming, branch lopping, shrub pruning, hole digging, yard mowing, rock evacuating, hydrangea planting and hosta moving.
We had a downpour of rain last night, just what the transplanted plants yearned for. This morning revealed that the hostas and hyrdrangeas appear very happy. I was fortunate enough to catch these little blooms early this morning after the rain but before the raindrops had fallen off the flower.
Unless noted otherwise, all photographs & content are my own and will only be shared with the courtesy of a written request for permission.
Sweet image! At the moment, the best curb appeal I can focus on is getting the car washed! We are putting in new french drains before our summer rains and all the trenches are driving the lizards crazy.
Hi Tammy, I don't know where it comes from either. The secret is getting someone else to do the weedeating. It looks nice now but still a work in progress.
Hi Emily, there's something about hostas. Especially the ones with the varigated leaves and the little purple flowers.
Hi Mona, It sounds like you earned your pay this weekend.This labor of love always pay off in the great feeling you have after all your muscle pain goes away. :-)
Hey Good Morning Marco, I am surrounded by the Blue Ridge Parkway property and wake up to the woods every day. These surroundings bring me pleasure too.
Allen, are hostas bulbs? I trusted google. I entered the question about when hostas could be transplanted and google informed me that they are very hardy plants and just needed tons of water. So far, so good. I didn't see bulbs on them.
Hi Sheila, thanks. There are some upsides to digging in the dirt but I wouldn't be opposed to having a gardener either, lol.
Than, it is never ending. The problem is that sometimes I end and then have to play catch up which is definitely a lot more work.
What job could possibly be better than bringing people together by sharing our common interests and learning new ones?
Here's my opportunity to introduce conversations and photos of the area I feel so passionate about...the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.
This is one way to give you some background about me and our MoonDancer Realty company to help you make an informed decision about hiring us as your next REALTOR. I hope you enjoy the content as much I enjoy sharing it.
I'm looking forward to reading your comments and hope to meet you soon.

I have no idea where you get that kind of energy. I dream of gardening, but I never get to it.

The muscle pain I can live with William, it's all the bites, scratches and odd toxic plant oils to deal with!
Hey Mona-great photo! It looks like you live in a forest-very nice. Your gardening weekend event is what I do every weekend and love it!

Hello again Mona. What a wonderful picture. I love it and appreciate the nuisance. Isn't gardening great.
Neat picture. Yard maintenace or curb appeal is a continuing battle (not to mention painting, decorations and the like).
Allen, are hostas bulbs? I trusted google. I entered the question about when hostas could be transplanted and google informed me that they are very hardy plants and just needed tons of water. So far, so good. I didn't see bulbs on them.
