I cleaned up the front bed last weekend, moving around the plants that were still alive and doing what I could to save others.  Then planted new flowers around the old(er) ones.  Alex mulched it for me and then helped Paul to do one of my dream wish-list items&#8230; they took out the mangled bushes from the front!  (These unsightly bushes were uneven and patchy, they pulled them out and evened out the brick work in the front!)  I still can&#8217;t believe that they did it&#8230; it was *not* on Paul&#8217;s radar and it was definitely a nice surprise made on my behalf.  Yesterday, George (Paul&#8217;s Dad) and I put new boston ferns in the hanging baskets.  The old ones did not fare the storm well and had to be replaced.  Unfortunately, these aren&#8217;t the nice and full nursery variety, but the $6 Lowe&#8217;s variety!  They aren&#8217;t quite as striking as our previous bunch but should grow in well.  I also added some dianthus and mums to the porch steps and side urn.  Viola!  A cleaned up post-Katrina front yard.  (Just don&#8217;t ask us about the back&#8230; yikes!) &nbsp;<a href='http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/' target='ext'><img src='http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' border='0' style='border:0px;padding:0px;background:transparent;' align='absmiddle'><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our house!
