Home Sweet Home

I'm so charmed every time I pull up to my house.  Especially in the midst of a sunny day with birds chirping and all the delights of spring making me swoon. :)  

This is the start of month 5 living here but I still sometimes can't believe we own a house.  Friends told me that it was so much better than renting because it's yours but I didn't entirely get that until I started living here.  The freedom to renovate what we want is awesome! And there aren't any noisy neighbors that we can hear through the walls at 3am. :) 

I am super excited to see all the flowers and plants that grow in our yard this year.  We are brand new to lawn/yard maintenance so learning to care for it all will be a whole new adventure when things start popping up all over the place.  I'm sure we were supposed to cut those dead plants back that are in the bed lining the driveway but here's hoping it's still ok in spring!  

For now, I'm super happy to have those BOXWOODS (look how awesome I am-I know a plant name!!!!!) that never turned brown.  Some kind of greenery in winter is always nicer than the dead grayness most plants turn into.  Plus they were the perfect source of entertainment for the kittens since they housed tons of tiny birds that the cats could watch from the windows. :) It's been a happy home so far. Hooray!
