I have a lovely bowl of ice cream and I'm starting to look at how to re-landscape our yard.
MH and I did this last night! He's obsessed with landscaping. I'm obsessed with ice cream. Funny aside...I got ice cream sandwiches to enjoy while he's out of town this week but they melted together so we put them in a bowl and had the best cookie dough ice cream ever.
Our yard is a hot mess and the previous owner liked ALL the plants, everywhere. I can't keep up with 50 different kinds of flowers, trees, and bushes. Our current front bed is a jumble of tulips, lilies of the valley, and a few other random things. LotV have taken over and gotten all in the grass and it's just a mess. I *want* our front to look something like this...

MH has improved our place 100x I like it but just wouldn't have cared enough to put in the work. He pulled out all our front yard chaos last year (like you've described a bit of everything with lots of ivy and ground cover) and it already looks so much better. But he wants to do more more more!

I've never been much of a gardner... but my goal right now is to dig everything up, and put down a thick layer of mulch. It doesn't take a whole lot of talent to dig and pull roots! I'm learning now that lillies of the valley are not only obnoxious, but are also toxic. Fantastic. Not exactly the plant I need with a small child that puts everything in his mouth.
Falafel and fries isn't bad! But I HATE when you realize at the last minute you're missing something. I'm notorious for making all the dough for cookies and then realizing that we ran out of baking powder or something, and begging H to walk down the street and get some!
It's even worse than just forgetting—it's a Plated meal and I apparently left the dough in the box...that was left on the porch...and it's been ~80 degrees the last few days. Sigh.
Haha, I've done that before. I didn't see the steak hidden under the ice pack and threw the box in the dumpster. Thankfully I realized it right away and had MH pull it out of the trash (it was still in the box, under the ice and just delivered that day. Don't judge me). We called it dumpster steak.
