Our Old House

Even with all of the big projects going on inside the house.. we have found a few minutes for some projects outside.
We have lots of plant life trying to take over our yard... we found a way to corral a few of them.

Our poor wisteria didn't even look like it was going to survive the winter, let alone have a place to climb. These trellises were on sale at Jerry's.

When we moved into the house, this rose bush was taking over the porch. I have tried to keep it under control, but it likes to run wild. Hopefully the trellis will help a bit.

One of the first things you see when you pull up to a house, is often the mailbox. Our mailbox was old and leaky. We had more wet mail than not this last winter. The post was rotting and was listing to the east. We propped it up with rocks, but it was determined to lean lean lean! 

So now, we have a new pretty (non-leaky) mailbox...

It stands up strait!

pretty!
