Homeownerish

The past two weekends I've spent major hours doing house projects.  The first was putting more of an order to the chaos in my garage.  

The starting right wall...at least it is all in totes but they were driving me crazy.

The starting left wall

Putting it all in the middle to tackle it.

I bought three shelves from Lowe's and now it feels much better.

The big pile here is front is for donations that need to be hauled off but overall I now have two walls that at least aren't just piles thrown on top of each other.  They are piles thrown on shelves.

My other project has been planting.  I've found some steals lately.

I've never planted mums so I was excited to give it a go this year.

While shopping for flowers I found this cool sign at Wal-Mart that I couldn't pass up.  I'll lean it in the corner by my front door this winter.

Just some of all the bulbs I bought.  I am learning you have to buy them in the fall and plant them now for spring.  I have no green thumb but lucky for me my co-workers do.  I just follow their instructions.

Putting in the bulbs.  You can see one of my succulents in this photo...I love those things.  They are cute and very hard to kill.  Perfect for me.

The mums all planted.  Hoping after trimming the hell out of this bush it will come back better in the spring.

Excuse the dirt all over the patio but I also planted a dwarf pine and more bulbs in planters.  So hopefully I can get all this right and come spring enjoy it all!  The weekends have been busy but productive.  I'm ready for more low-key next weekend.
