April showers bring May flowers

I've been anxious for flowers....and all week, we've had rain, I keep thinking we'll get blossoms soon & lo and behold, a small daffodil opened up in our front yard. Many buds are ready to open. Rob and I are trying to figure out how to re-landscape our front yard. Should we keep the rocks? Mulch? Curving bed or straight (he though old railroad ties might be cool, I was thinking bricks)?

Yesterday, we went to the art museum with our friends, Zizi & Ana. The elevator has an awesome mirrored ceiling!

    Sounds like a good fun time w/ friends at the museum & I LOVE THE FLOWER BLOOMING ! I love RIVER rocks landscape. Someday, we'll have a house & we'll never move again & I want BIG RIVER STONES.

    Great pics. Love the elevator and the "totem" on the steps.
    Sounds like you had a fun day.
    Hurray for spring.
    I think I really like the river rocks. Low maintenance means more time for trips like this one.

    I say, keep the rocks. Do they cover your whole front yard? If so, maybe just keep them in one bed.

    For me, always curve beds. My husband prefers straight lines.
