Revelation from Obviousville. Change doesn't come about as a result of whining and wishful thoughts. Change requires action. The picture below is a result of six years of thinking that I didn't like my side garden and that I should do something about it. Three straggly spirea bushes and three burnt arborvitae. The orange paint is not really lines for the new garden design; it is a police outline of dead grass.
Now, after some inspiration (a trip to Charleston), three months of planning, and six hours of hard labor from sister and mother (and when I say "hard labor" I mean stinging-sweat-in-your-eyes type of hard labor), we have this result:
Lesson: Change happens through inspiration, planning, ACTION, and having an awesome support system.
Yay for an awesome support system! :)
