Brainstorming Home and Garden Improvements
Like many homeowners, I spend most of my leisure time dreaming up ways to improve the visual appeal of my home. The lawn and front garden in particular have always been my baby, and my wife always leaves me to my own devices when I’m brainstorming ways to bolster their eye-catching splendor. Fall and winter are the months when I draw up elaborate plans about landscaping and décor that would set off the garden and set it apart from others in the neighborhood.
Usually by spring I realize that my plans are far too complex and expensive to execute, so I’m forced to scale down those grandiose ideas. For example, I still haven’t budgeted for a full scale landscaping job that will lend the garden more depth and personality. I always stumble across a few less costly ideas that are easy to implement as well. Last spring I added a garden bridge to the space between the petunias and the rose beds. Now simply walking through the front yard feels like a special event.

Selecting Furniture for Next Spring
With October in full swing and the leaves already changing from green to their autumnal hues, I’m really beginning to miss summer. It was nice to arrive home from work with plenty of daylight left, whiling away the hours outside with my family. These days, it gets dark before I even leave the parking lot at work. As silly as it might sound, I’ve already begun to make plans for next spring.
For starters, I’ve picked out a steamer chair that will fit nicely on the front stoop. That’s the spot I’ve reserved for summer evenings. My wife and I like to enjoy a glass of wine out there as we survey the activities around our neighborhood. We’ve been talking about upgrading the outdoor furniture for some time, and I’m finally going to do something about it. I’m really beginning to envy people on who experience warm weather year round.
