Some people have asked to see a picture of the front of our house. Here it is, courtesy of my Dad. No that's not our minivan, it's his. Our little Ford is hiding behind it.
Next spring, I hope to do a little landscaping. I'm thinking a few hydrangeas and other bushes under the front windows, and a weeping Japanese maple or crepe myrtle in the center of the front yard, with a raised mulch bed bordered by flagstone. Anything to cut down on the amount of grass to mow! I'd also like to put a small pond to the right of the path. It will have to be less than 24" deep as per community regulations. Any deeper requires a 6-foot fence. And fences aren't allowed in the front yard. So it will be shallow if it makes it into the plan at all.
Or if you have a better landscaping idea, please leave it in the comments.

We have a Crepe Myrtle in our front yard. It is beautiful and no care. We planted a second one yesterday in the back yard.
What a nice hourse too. May it be a blessing to you and to all your family and friends.
I am so glad that you put your house on your blog - I was wondering what it looked like! It's adorable! A plant that I have enjoyed watching grow this late spring/early summer is Climbing Clementis - if you have a trelis or something like it. Ours is brilliant purple and it is a beautiful contrast to our white trelis. We also enjoyed watching our snap dragons grow - even if you forget to water them after a while, they always come back. The same with petunias.
