New bed

We are doing major remolding this year including; new kitchen, new flooring in most of the house, new lighting in most of the house, new ceiling, new front steps, new driveway and new garage floor. That was what was planned. But the new garage floor led to painting the garage walls. Then led to a new door in the garage to the house. Pretty much the whole house is torn apart and I am now living out of boxes.
After the new driveway was done there was a mess in the front yard. At first I was very disappointed. Then I thought maybe I could make a new bed.
This is the shrub I posted yesterday.
I am moving plants from my other beds to fill this bed. It is just the start.

This is the view coming out of the garage.

The mess in the front yard from the driveway work turned into something beautiful....a flower/shrub bed that you're going to enjoy for a long time.

What a great idea for your blog. I finally read your profile. I started my blog as a journal of my crazy life, and had no idea how it would blossom and bloom to such proportions. As you can tell, I don't specialize in anything. I started out with the quilters, but now through this giveaway I had, I've met all you gardeners and more felters.
I'm so glad you like my blog, and I really will get to the tutorial.

When life hands your lemons...You definitely have lemonade in the making. I really like your stone path. I am in the process of redoing our front walk. It is a tough decision.
