Happy Fall!

September is nearly over and yet my winter clothes are still all packed...whats the deal?

I love fall & winter...football, hollidays, sweaters, cute coats, layered clothes, pretty scarfs, JEANS,  BOOTS, good hair (minus the static)...I could go on forever! Nic and I decided to get married in the fall because we both loved it so much and I'd have to say, no matter how MISERABLE the cold weather can be at times (like last year) I think I'll always prefer that over the hot/humid Mississippi summer months!!

Last weekend I went and checked on Nic at a job in Ridgeland

This is the home of one of Nic's favorite clients...they are super nice, MSU alumni and take LOTS of pride in their yard...as you can probably tell.... They are ALWAYS changing up stuff and doing new projects.

This WAS a grassy area but due to the shade and drainage problem, it didn't grow so....Nic told them to find a statue of some sort....the deer could not be more fitting, ha. During my 30 mins of being there, I saw 5 or 6 deer walk around their house. PS-this is not your ordinary reindeer either...its a 300-400 lb solid bronze, as Nic said...one heavy SOB!

Nic poured a concrete statue base and laid a paver walkway coming off their sidewalk.

Pavers look easy but they all had to be cut to fit like a puzzle piece (this particular project was a total of TWENTY NINE hours -crazy, huh?

After adding pinestraw....think they are going to plant autumn ferns around the base.
