We just moved into our first house five months ago. I have decorated the interior and also our private garden in the back is full of lively and beautiful autumn flowers. Anyhow, the back is adorable and so picturesque but the front of our townhouse looks like no one is home (aside from the daily newspaper a mini-rose pot by the door and a windchime).

There is a rock garden that is about 5 ft by 3 foot with nothing but rocks. We also have a private sidewalk to our door. In front of the rock garden in a small patch of grass. It is maintained by the property owners, not by us. But anyhow, I plan to put a glass top patio table with four chairs and umbrella on the grass area. But I need to know what to do with the rock garden? We are in a mountain climate so it snows and freezes a lot. I don't want to put out plants or flowers, but instead maybe some fountain/little pond or seating. My neighbor has all kinds of cool things in her area with lights and fenced borders etc, mine looks plain
Here is the picture of it.

Since you are only renting - I wouldn't plant anything permanent. When I lived in my old townhouse, I used really cool flower pots to put plants in, and took them with me when I left. I also used plant stands to add hieght to certain ones and I got a few small concrete yard ornaments. I had a mushroom statue, and some toad abodes. Looked cool.

When the summer comes, Im planning a party...
So far its got, 130 people, barbcues, a professional DJ, hottubs, slip and slides, then when it gets dark, we're going to have a light fesitval, and put netted fairy lights on the garden umbrella, line the underside of the patios to show people the way around, and have glow sticks.

I was thinking of getting everyone a chinese wish latern, then some sharpies, writing a message on them, then sending them off?
Are there any other things i could do? its a house party, and yes, i can fit that many people, its a garden based party.

Sounds great! Maybe you can have some music with a DJ!

Ok, so it's got to be done :-(
On a beautiful day like today, do you put up the sun umbrella and do your ironing outside on the patio/garden, or do you wait till it the evening and do your ironing inside?

Inside .... since the nasty Bee wasp and ant incidents .....

embarrassment.

yourself loud enough for all to hear, "Who BUYS this junk,
anyway?"

11. Ride a display bicycle through the store; claim you're
taking it for a "test drive."
