Back From Our Vacation

We recently returned home from our vacation to Paris, France. I am working on the photos from that trip and will be posting about that trip in the near future.
Upon our return home we had the painting to the front of our house finished.
I also ended up pulling a couple of bushes from the front that have not been doing well. Those bushes had been in the ground for at least 15 years and one of them gave me a hard time and didn't want to come out but I was finally able to get everything out.
In one spot I plan on putting in a nice rose bush and I already put in a couple of hostas plants to fill in the area.
Here are the before and after photos of our house:

We still have some landscaping to get done and then in the Fall we will be having a new deck put in.
