pictures of our place

At the apartment I discovered that I loved being able to have flowers of my own and so we ended up with a collection of pots on our patio. Sadly though I am not that great at watering and so most of my plants ended up dying there.  When we moved here I came up with all these great plans for making my house look so cute on the outside...but in reality haven't done that great of a job accomplishing it. :)
The first things I planted (some bulbs...can't remember what) I accidently planted them sideways or upside down...something like that...OOPS!! And this flower you see below...it is one of the few living flowers planted in front of my house. :) I kept forgetting to water!!
Here is the other flower in the front that has survived my gardening skills
at least so far!

And I was super excited to see that the hydrangea out front was begginning to do something!! The one in the back is still just a leafy gross bush. :)
We have a couple rose bushes a very tiny little start in the front that just put out a tiny little flower and then a larger one in the back which I took this picture from. Then one more in the very back against the fence. They are pretty but this one by the back of the house really smells like an old lady rose. (No offense to any lovers of that rose smell!! )
Then we have our nice apple tree which has cute green apples, I tried one off the ground last night and it was crunchy and really yummy!!
And then we have our apricot tree which doesn't seem to have any fruit on it, but it has some super cute red tipped leaves, that's for sure!!!
And then our weird apple. Hmm, interesting!
And then we have our tiny cherry tree which has given us like 20 cherries!  The big one didn't make it on here because it doesn't have any fruit on it (well it does have one or two but they aren't ripe...and when they get ripe they disappear...weird, eh?!) Sorry the pciture is so poor but it was getting dark and I couldn't get a decent one.
And here are some pictures of my cherrys YUM!! Court didn't want any so I put them in the fridge and ate them all myself...so GOOD!!
And here is one of the two that got destroyed. :) I just thought you might like to see it...hehe
Well, hope you enjoyed the mini tour of the outside of my house! Once little man makes his appearance I promise pictures of actual people...one in particular! :)

Your plants look beautiful in pictures and real life. Sorry you got your lack of watering skills from me.
