Starting tomorrow morning these bad boys are going...Sean has the chainsaw all warmed up and I'm pretty darn frightened...not of Sean and power tools, but of the change.
I'm taking something as visible as the front of my house and daring to trust myself to make it different. I know Sean will do anything I ask of him, but that means it's kind of up to me to have the vision and I don't exactly feel like I have it right now.
We've tried to learn about plants for the yard, talked to several people, asked 100's of questions, thought and thought about it...still it's not all hammered out in my head. It's fairly by the seat of my pants, which is not my style. I know I don't like these trees, I know I want this yard to be more "us"...Sean's sweat (and hopefully not blood) and my crazy ideas.
It's silly I know, it's just my yard. We've made some big changes around this house in the five years it's been our home and they've all worked out pretty well. I think my fear is because this one is so visible....so easily judged. Friends, family, neighbors, see the the inside of your house...anyone and everyone sees the outside. You know you've driven past a house at some point or another and thought, "Oh, that's ugly." or "Why do they have it like that?".
I just need to trust myself. Think of it as paper and glue and just play with it. Make it mine, take a chance, create something...
