The “Fall-i-Fied” Front Yard.

Posted on October 20, 2010 by

Remember how we had to pass the mailbox inspection in July?  (I guess we passed because we never got kicked out of the neighborhood.)  Well, we hadn’t done much to aid in the appearance of the front yard since then.  I mean, we … Continue reading →
