Curb Appeal With A Punch Of Red

What another busy weekend we had around here. Bobby had Friday off and we spent our time finding more things to do around the house. Our realtor has been preaching curb appeal with a punch of red. So we’ve carried on with red mulch in the front flower beds. We left the house early Friday afternoon to do some shopping and have dinner out. Then we came home and started in on some more landscaping. I planted more flowers and Bobby worked on unloading all 20 bags of red mulch from the truck. He then proceeded to empty all the bags while I went behind him spreading out the mulch. We worked outside until 9:00 PM when we ran out of mulch. We were about 5 bags short. Oh, the best part is that we had a showing Friday. Don’t think the people are going to buy but we have to start somewhere.

I made a mulch and flower run Saturday while Bobby was lining out a repair man to fix our stone wall out front. But we waited until around 6:00 PM to start work on the flowerbeds and then flew around here with our mowers. Bobby then took over the edging and the blower while I took over the weed eater. We were able to get everything done by 9:00 PM but we’re still trying to think about what else we can do. Perhaps we’ll start more flower beds out back or then again maybe not. Depends on what comes to the top of the priority list.

One of our favorite indulgences over the weekend was to grill filet mignon along with an onion, a mushroom, a baked potato & asparagus packets. I seasoned all the veggies in each of their packets with butter and seasonings and that turned out to be a lovely treat.
