I guess it is hard to compare, since you can’t see all the junk that was under the snow. But, trust me, the house looks a lot better than it did, from the outside, anyway. I washed the siding under the windows to the left of the door today, and that helped a lot. You can also see lots of perennials in the planters, some which came up and some which I added. The tulips in the foreground are not, unfortunately, mine.
It looks so warm and inviting now! I can’t wait to get over and see the house in person. 🙂 In another 3 weeks I’ll be on my summer schedule and should have time to make another trip over.
I think the green grass and pretty red tulips contribute the most to the “warm and inviting” aspect, but things are slowly improving inside and out.
