We have a Landscaping Contract Signed!
After a month of landscaping bids (and suffering PTLSS*) - we finally decided to go back to the first and our favorite landscape design . . . .Sunflower Landcare. (or as Dave calls them, the Sunshine Boys)
Quaking Aspen (hello Old Coventry!)
Flagstone patio (throwback to Gramma Hart's)
Our own fire pit (no more s'mores over the tiny chafing fuel gadget)
Do I dare say I was a bit biased when I heard one of the designer's name was Sheldon?
Unfortunately we still have a few weeks wait. One of the downfalls of a new neighborhood I guess.

Dear Future Yard Owners-
Ask your landscaper if he will guarantee your aspens against suckers. And if he does, ask him how. I need to know the secret. Otherwise, just fondly remember Old Coventry and pick a different breed!!! AHH! Suckers!

just kidding, it's me, mb

JulieElmontBarr: PTLSS? Is that pre-traumatic landscaping stress syndrome?

KathrynLang: So happy for the upcoming grass and trees. Do sunflowers grow well in Co.Springs? From the sounds of things, you are going to KISS.....

Chantelle: Julie - your interpretation of PTLSS is more on par than mine (post traumatic landscape sticker shock)
Either way - I'm ready for it to be done!
Who knew Colorado Springs was such a complicated place to landscape?
No KISS for me or G. I could barely handle the music playing in the garage while painting a few nights ago!

David Lang No - we left the charmed life in the tropics. Time to cowboy up!

Julie Elmont Barr: LOL....okay Chan, I couldn't read your full notes from my phone or I would have already known your acronym meaning. Pretty close though, eh? Good luck with all that. It looks like it will be beautiful now that I've seen the whole thing. I'm going to invite myself over for some s'mores sometime.

Tiffany Hart Schmidt: LOL Dave...I hear ya! I'm sending you a Stetson for Xmas...too bad we won't be a Gma Harts so I could make you sit on Santa's lap to open it! (after the "talent show" of course ) Have a great time @ KISS...
