LANDSCAPING PLANS

This is what I see in my mind when I drive up to my house.

This Spring I loved pulling up in the drive and seeing my daisies.

Now I'm SICK SICK SICK of it ALL.
It's SO HOT that all I do is water.
Too hot to sit outside and weed.
Besides, I have so many other things that I could do with my time and unfortunately most of my time is spent at my job.
It doesn't seem like I have enough SPARE time to get all the necessary things done, let alone the things I WANT to do.
I've talked before about my addiction to flowers...
which would be alright I suppose if I wanted a cottage garden.
Something like this is NICE -

but THIS just strangles me. -

In my fantasy, I'd want this-

but then my house would need to look more like that one, I would think.

So, yesterday I went to Lowes to look at landscaping timbers, pavers, that sort of thing.
I came home with a van full of clearance flowers.
I told myself that I could put them down on the back hill...
after I clear it.
I'm thinking it would be nice to have a garden shed down there, so I Googled those today.
Suddenly I realized that these "sheds" were closer to my homes "style" than most houses are.
Then I found this-

I have a gravel driveway...

I think this could work!

 I might have hit on a happy medium between the two styles!

Of course that means more time outside....
but someday I will be done. Really, I will.
