Spring has Sprung!

I think spring is the prettiest season of the year. I love to see the Dogwood trees blooming and azaleas bursting with color. Last year, we planted a pink Dogwood tree in our front flower bed. It survived its first winter and just look at its beautiful blooms above!

Our backyard has several wild Dogwoods trees with bright white blooms that almost glow in the dark!

Our pink azaleas our blooming and our hostas are getting huge!

Above is the Japanese lace leaf maple tree we transplanted from our first home. It was in our front flower bed for five years. After getting the pink Dogwood tree, we moved it into the rock beds in the backyard along with the other two bushes. They are doing great back there!

Our red azaleas

Along with all the new spring blooms, our backyard has also seen another kind of makeover.
We recently had our deck cleaned, sanded, refinished, stained and sealed. The deck had not been refinished since our house was built in 2002. It looks great!

It looks brand new! Thanks to Wood ReNew! (I sound like a commerical, huh?!)
But seriously, these guys did a great job for a super great price. They even did our wooden fence gates on each side of the house...

Can't wait for this weather to warm back up so we can enjoy our beautiful yard!
