Here is our pretty mums on the front entry. The empty grey container on the step is waiting for me to find something to put in it. Cameron tried to plant a couple of lightbulbs but nothing grew.
Here is our brand new compost bin. Made all by ourselves thank you very much! We found out that our trash service won't pick up yard waste until the leaves start falling. So all our grass clippings have been getting thrown in the trash. We'll see how our bin does, hopefully getting some good soil to put on our flowers next year.
Cameron tried to compost poor Parker.
See we do have some leaves already falling! Our nieghbors were concerned we cut our grass soo short, but heck it was like 6 inches tall before we started, we thought they would be happy!
I just thought I would take a closer picture of the house.
And finally our shame....... granted it was like that when we moved in(there was a lightening strike that killed the other large tree in the front yard and burned all the grass). But when you live on a street where it looks like someone should be setting up to tee off on your neighbors lawn, there is a fierce competition for having good grass. We decided that as soon as we can next spring, we are having the whole front yard torn up and hydroseeded to start over.

Poor Parker. Why would anyone want to compost him?

Ah, I bet Parker would make a great compost. Better than what he is doing to the grass now.
Okay, we love the pictures of the flowers, the dog, and your garbage cans....but what we really want to see is you a little "tanked" at Medieval Times!
Come on, I know you've got them! Post away.
