When we moved into this home almost 4 years
ago, it didn't have a yard, sprinkler system,
was painted a yucky color, any landscaping was
old or dead and it had a huge

dead tree looming over the back yard! It was,
however, lovely on the inside!
Well, we fixed all of those things...painted,
added sod, shrubs, grasses, palms, and red lava
rock instead of mulch. We still have a bit more rock
to put in around the bay window area, and I want to add

and it will be done!! YIPPEE!!
All the plantings are really beginning to mature
this summer and we are thrilled with how it looks!
I'll take some other pics of the full front of
the house with the cars out of the way
soon. We have a lovely crepe murtle "tree"
on the other side of the garage I want you to see,
but my camera batteries died!

The story behind acquiring this house is
a wonderful testimony of God's goodness,
and of waiting on the Lord. Almost every time
I drive into the neighborhood, I thank God for
His love and care for the details of our lives!

ReplyDeleteYour home looks just beautiful Becky, may you know many, many more years of love, happiness and blessings under that lovely roof! You deserve it my friend! Fiona x
ReplyDeleteIt is really beautiful, Becky. I am a total house person...a roomie as opposed to a foodie I guess. A home speaks volumes of its owners I have found. Isn't it amazing how hard work and beauty often go hand in hand? Sowing and reaping we make our way through life and create our little heaven on earth.
ReplyDeleteYou have done wonders with the house & yard. It is so warm & welcoming. Sometimes it is so easy to ask why & in His way, He gently shows us the reason. TTFN ~Marydon

ReplyDeleteI started reading this post the other night and was falling asleep while reading! I kept waking up and trying again and again and again until I just turned off the computer.
ReplyDeleteSo here I am today, 2 days later to tell you how pretty your house looks!! So completely different from homes up here. Ours is so rustic and yours is so manicured and elegant!!!
Can't wait to see more pictures!! You're doing a great job!
Becky, your house is so very pretty. Knowing how sweet you are makes it even nicer to think of how welcome any visitors must feel when they enter. I love the style, it's much different than any here in the corn!
