Monday's Mansion from a Mole Hill

This is my first post that actually goes along with the theme of my blog! Today's Mole Hill (a.k.a. problem) happens to be an extremely dead plant smack dab in the middle of our front landscape. Here lies a very dead bush:

R.I.P.

If you look very closely below, you can see that Mr. Frog is very lonely without his usual bush to keep him company:

Soooo......I created a Mansion (a.k.a. solution to our little Mole Hill) for him to be Head Butler at! He is taking to his new position very quickly given the poor economy:

I'm really excited about having a pot in the middle of the landscape instead of an evergreen perennial! Now I can change out flowers with the season with extra pops of color and holiday flair. We have a neighbor that has gorgeous landscaping, but...they cheat. They have several potted annual flowers that overflow with color all year round and scream, "Look at me!! I am part of a big beautiful landscape with lots of color and beautifulness!!" Well. Do they have a Head Butler Frog? I think not. 

I'll be sure to update you when the above mums look like the ones we already have below!
