A shiver of excitement ran down her spine. The sound of the power saw vibrated through her living room. Amelia's hands trembled as she reached for her coffee cup, barely able to keep it steady. The new construction next door meant she could finally start her own project.

She envisioned a vibrant, artistic garden that would make everyone smile, mirroring the renovation project next door. She had been waiting for the go-ahead from her husband to start. She decided to call her sister, and plan a weekend of garden design.

A wide smile spread across her face. This was it. She could feel the creative juices flowing, the thrill of possibility bubbling inside her. Time to make some calls.
