Please pray for our plants. It actually snowed/sleeted a bit last night and the temperatures are hanging around freezing. The pansies will probably be fine, and we're keeping the grass wet (which is what you do when you first plant AND what you do to keep it from freezing to death). It's just really hard to water your yard when it's this cold and windy. It's worse than a really long day skiing after you've fallen a bit and even your socks are soggy. Lesson learned. Spend the money on a sprinkler system.
Note: It was completely pitch black dark by the time mom and I really got started, and we had the halogen mega lights out front so we could see.
There's still a lot of landscaping to do. There's a bed in front of the master, and we'll put shrubs along the back under the kitchen/kid bedroom windows. I still haven't figured out where to put my rose bush. She'll probably have to wait until spring - I'll just leave her in the pot for now. She survived last year - she can survive anything. I also need to draw all this up and turn it in to Chandler's. We've been slightly worried they'll say something since we're not approved, but how can you not approve dwarf hollies, pansies and boxwooods? Come on. And I think the rocks look nice. Don't you? Left over from the retaining wall. It was good for something.

Looks really nice. Abby, you and your mom must have been freezing. Will help finish the planting or whatever you want me to do.

It was actually a very pleasant evening before the cold front blew in. I didn't really need a jacket. It was the next night that was a bugger. Thankfully this weekend should be nice. :)
