This weekend C cleaned off the slope, got rid of a massive tree stump and we cast around fistfuls of wildflower and poppy seeds. We hope to have our own field of wildflowers in front of the house.
And from a few weeks back, some new plantings in front of the new porch:
Madagascar Jasmine we received as a wedding present:
Pride of Madeira, C's holiday gift from my brother:
Two Lilac vines:
Elli watched it all from her favorite look-out spot on the front porch.
C finally had a chance to pull out the chainsaw and get it cleaned up. 
The Oakland zoo recently got into some trouble for cutting down acacias to feed the elephants. Apparently they didn't have the right to chop down the trees and now the elephants no longer have their favorite snack. We plan on donating our felled acacias to the elephants. We have more wild acacias than we can handle. They grow everywhere at an alarmingly fast rate.

You should plant some succulents - I love how they look on a hill! I'd by a few different types that you like the look of and plant them all then see what starts spreading out the fastest. We did that in our front planter box (in SoCal)and it turns out only one really took off. So this spring we'll buy more of that guy.
this talk of wildflowers and poppies in front of your house just sold me. i need to live there, too.
succulants, too. yes! brilliant.
and i can seriously smell the lilac and jasmine from here.
it looks stunning. my father-in-law would say you've got some good curb appeal. did i tell you this already? i think it's funny.
xoxo.
