When that time comes, we will find our\npermanent place of residence, and I will finally be able to design my house \u2013\ninside and out \u2013 the way I want.

","engine":"visual"}" data-block-type="2" id="block-1b75f3b1ccbf2958519c">I don’t have a green thumb. My mother has one, so does my father, but somehow my thumb has managed to remain pink for quite some time. My lack of experience is due to my fear of spiders (I’m such a girl that way) and the fact that almost every house we have rented has provided some type of landscaping service that maintains the property for us. So I have never really had any reason to spend a lot of time weeding or maintaining a yard.
At some point in the future, my husband will retire from the Military, which means we will no longer be required to move. When that time comes, we will find our permanent place of residence, and I will finally be able to design my house – inside and out – the way I want. I have an idea of what I would like my dream yard to have; a sizable vegetable garden, lush green grass, paver trails for the dogs to explore on, trees that produce fruit… all while providing a safe, comfortable environment for the dogs.
