corner of the house last month. since the old photos, we have removed the evergreen in the front and the garden bed that surrounded it. I used the broken up garden bed to create a border for the sitting area under the awning. i'll post pics of that later. also the small white decorative fence w/rosebush behind is gone. the holes are still there though as I am reminded every time I mow the lawn. lol
got rid of 8 inch wide (only 8 inches and in the direct path of the deluge of the gutterless awning???) bed surrounding the porch. Removed rosebush planted too close to house in said bed. also stripped ugly outdoor carpet from porch, removed layers and layers and layers of adhesive, repainted porch and front door. sanded, painted, primed railing all two summers ago. oh yeah painted the Adirondack chairs I got for mother's day. unfortunately they got rained on right after so they're peeling now.Whew, forgotten how much we/i've really done out front!

so now we are down to a blank slate in the front at least.
