This weekend was a clean-up weekend! We've been asking our realtor for a bit of input and she has finally told us that we have had a lot of people driving by but no one is requesting to see more. It was apparent to her that we need to give a bit more "curb appeal". Truthfully, our house has never been beautiful from the outside. It is an old horse property in the middle of the desert. I would guess there has never been a lot of "landscaping" here. We have weeds... This weekend Tracy rented a bobcat and we scraped the back "yard" of as many weeds as we could.
I cleaned up the back patio as well as I could and painted a couple of old chairs we received from some friends 5 years ago, and put them on the front porch. I wish I could say it's now beautiful...it's not. It is improved. We are hoping that we can add a few bushes to the front of the house in boxes we plan to build around the front. I hate to put a lot of money into this place considering how little we make from it...but we have to put that best foot forward.
Life is a blessing...
