We moved into our house about 4 1/2 years ago, and I immediately planted a "small" lilac bush by my front door. It has thrived (and spread!) over the years - and right now it is in full bloom (and fragrance!).
I love petunias. They are the only flower I've found so far that I can't kill or that doesn't just die from the neglect. This year I put in red ones. They match my RED front door :)
These hanging baskets don't match the front door, but they sure are pretty! (and the price was right - $4.99 each at Lowe's)

Beautiful! I love the lilac--my mom used to have one when I was little and the smell was so wonderful! Unfortunately, I planted my annuals before we went on spring break and several of them FROZE while we were gone--in April. So now I must re-plant one of the beds.
Sounds like you had a satisfying, productive day!
Spring has sprung at your house. They are just starting to bloom here in NY. I have always loved lilacs since I was little, bit grew even more fond of them on my trip to visist you in Germany. The colors seemed deeper and the smell richer. Now every time I see them I think fondly of the great vacation.
