HOME UPGRADES!

This spring, mom and rich have been working in the yard quite a lot,

making our house the preetiest one on the street.

here's a picture of the porch

here's the house, you can't tell in this picture,

but mom painted the front door green.

here's a close up, rich polished the

brass door knobs and the mail slot

here's rich polishing away


we cut down our tree because it was all rot inside.

mom and rich bought a new baby tree, it's

a red maple.

mr.robin (the one on the left)

is usually seen hopping around the bottom of our new tree.

we thnk he's staking a claim on it and waiting for

it to get bigger so he can actually sit in it.

in this picture,

he had to guard it from that other robin.

a close up on mom's daisies,

they're crazy, they seem to double every year.

our lilacs earlier this spring


we got the two middle bushes pulled out,

one was a rose of sharon and we're not sure

what the other one was but it blossomed little white flowers.
