Front yard after a little fix’in

My project for this weekend was the front yard. I’ve been disappointed with the single lonely flower-less plant on the front porch, our faded patio set and the lack of flowers in our garden with small bushes that never grow any larger! I wish I had before photos… but I don’t, just afters:

 

I bought a few flowers and a nice swively tiered planter. I found some summery fabric at the fabric store and sewed some pillows for the front porch. Almost forgot about my succulent on the table there… it’s been there for a little over a month now and doing well. About the only thing that survives in that spot!

In front of the bushes I planted Pacificas. I saw a few neighbors have them and they really take off, so I think/hope they will do well in our yard . Walmart had solar lanterns on sale, so we picked up 8 of those to put along the garden and up the driveway. I’ll take some night photos of it later.
