The landscaping project is still underway, but thankfully the big mess has now moved to the backyard. Tomorrow we are adding some flagstones into the grass and large decorative rocks. Here is a sneak peek of our front yard as of today. We have Neon Blue Spruce as the focal point, then two Blue Satin Rose of Sharon Hibiscus bushes on each side to flank the Spruce, then Blue Rug Juniper as ground cover. Do you guys have any idea how breathtakingly stunning Blue Rose of Sharon looks when it blossoms? I saw some pictures online and can't wait to see it in person. It should be any day now.

Who would know an outdoor project could be so stressful and exhausting? Control freak you might call me, but if I want the project to turn out exactly (well almost) the way I designed, I'd better keep a close eye on the daily progress. There will always be deviation and you just can't rely on your contractor to guess your mind, right?
Enough excitement for a day. Another busy week awaits next week, so we'd better get some much needed rest this weekend and recharge our energy. More landscaping pictures to follow.
