The Grass is Getting Greener

Is was nice and sunny this last weekend. Still cold, but sunny. We haven't really cleaned up the yard from the wind storms that blew through a couple of months ago and now that the grass is a little taller on the lawn (we've been hesitant to walk on the lawn so far), we decided to pick up the pine boughs. We also raked up all the pine cones, too. The lawn looks so much better.

On Monday of last week, we picked up the plants that we are going to use for the hedge. We got 48 one gallon Lonicera nitida. It's also called box honeysuckle and is considered the poor man's boxwood. It grows fast (which nice for us) and is pretty cold tolerant. We'll be planting them about 30 inches apart.


We also have some interesting news about the house on the front lot. The sale sign and yard-arm are missing. So is the lock box for the keys on the front door. It does not appear that anyone has bought it, though. It's possible that the builder guy is going to move into it. We think it's more likely, however, that he is just pulling it off the market for 30 days so he can lower the price and relist it as a new listing. We are definitely curious about what's going on.
