Well, it's springtime 2005 and Karen & I have been at it in the yard...working that is!  After years of planting and re-planting flowers around the front of the house we found some nice perennials to plant so everything will come back every year.  I made a nice entry sign with stones a year or so ago and we added roses and more stones this year also as you will see in the pics.  We also added some large rocks (not shown) and more roses and marigolds along the driveway as you will see.  Now we have the best curb appeal in the neighborhood, which wouldn't take much, but I think we did a darn good job!
