Yard Work Stinks, cont.

The backyard wasn't the only space to get a major makeover. We have been tirelessly working on getting rid of all of the pine tree shrubberies that were planted EVERYWHERE!

Our front yard used to be super dark and sad, covered in tiny shrubs and ivy

But now it is wide open, and glorious!

Even our Hydrangea got a fancy new brick border and some cedar mulch chips.

Joe injured himself pretty severely trying to clear the front walkway, but it was totally worth it because now there is a great little place to put our trashcan

I also dug up many, many, many lillies. . . .who needs some?!?!?

Yard Work Stinks!

Yard work does in fact stink. . . but man does it make a big difference in the quality of your outside time if you have a nice yard.

Our yard used to be a freaky forest filled with pine trees of all sizes

But now, it is a beautiful oasis (ok not really, but it is getting better)

We are in the process of attempting to grow grass, but currently we are only managing to grow patches of grass. Our plans are to continue the tree removal we have already started by getting rid of the 2 super tall pine trees inside the fence, and the giant pine tree on the outside of the fence. With all of these trees gone, we may actually have some usable space in our back yard!
