I absolutely love this time of year. As the days grow shorter and the nights cooler, Mother Nature casts her spell and the colors of fall begin to appear. After months of hot temperatures, I welcome the evenings that I can put on a jacket, sit out on my patio and listen to nature. I feel blessed to live in an area that enjoys all four seasons. I look forward to each changing one!

My husband is a landscaper and I love to scrapbook. When it comes to our yard, he designed, planted and maintains it, but I embellish it! Embellishing your yard is a great way to add to your “curb appeal”. Curb appeal is what makes your home, business, or project stand out.

One of my favorite things about spring landscape is seeing yards come to life with color and vitality by planting summer annuals. I think it must take me back to my childhood. My mother would spend hours in the yard beautifying our landscape. I remember she won an award one year for the most beautiful curb appeal. She loved to play with color and design and created gorgeous masterpieces year after year.
You too can easily spruce up your yard and curb appeal with color by planting easy care annual flowers.
