My Tattered Corner

So what am I doing for Earth Day? I spruced up the front part of the house. I honestly don’t do any real planting until it gets closer to Mother’s Day. So what I did was clean up the front area a bit by trimming the dead branches and the removing the dead plants from last year out of the pots. I took some of my decorations away as well. I did leave a couple things. I am looking at it is less is more.  I am pondering to add a few things – I have some cement figures in the storage unit.  So at the moment I have a clean slate.  I did the same around the patio as well by seeing what is popping up in planting and cleaning out the dead branches, plants n leaves.  The deck I did a few days ago.

I guess you can say I am using Earth Day as a Spring cleaning day for outside!

I would love to do a big makeover, but it is not in the budget.  So the plan is use what I have and what I want to keep.  Then see if anything needs to be fixed and painted.  Which I already know there will be painting to be done on a few things that I have.  The main thing, make them look nice and the other I am recycling what I have.  I will take some before and after pictures and post them down the line to show the transformation.

Until later, Happy Earth Day!
