Phase 1 of freshening up the outside of our house

The eventual plan is to paint the wood on our front porch gray and do something different with our front door. And possibly paint the garage doors  But for now, it's new mulch for the first time since 2015 and Cindy's touch on the front porch.  Amy and Steve got Cindy a new bench for Mother's Day and Cindy has added a cushion, some pillows and a new table/chair.

We added three calibrochoas...two hanging.

(These posts are partly for us to refer back to so pardon the detail.)
