What We've Been Up To
I realize the frequency of my posts has been seriously lacking this year. So here is the reason....are you ready for this? Two words yard work. I know crazy. First of all we do so much of it in our "spare" time that there has been little time to do other things, and second of all that's really what we have been up to. I keep telling myself if we do all this work this year it won't be so much next year. I know it's not good to lie, but please for now just let me believe this little white one because I may not make it otherwise! When we moved in, we didn't really understand just how large our yard is. At first glance it doesn't seem that big, but once you start having to weed every square inch, well almost, then it grows exponentially. Previous to us living in the house it was lived in by a widow who was not able to do a lot. She kept it up as much as she could, but for a few years it's been getting more and more wild, then this last year the house was empty. So we are making up for a lot of years of work that just didn't get done. Anyway, to the fun part, before and after pictures. I have to warn you though, we haven't got to the planting part of the plan yet, so you may not be too impressed! I just thought you all might like to know why I dropped off the face of the blogging world. Note: This is just the back yard, there is one more thing to do in the front then I'll post before and after.

Wow. Who did all that work? It looks good.
oh the joys of home ownership! good luck with living the american dream; if only it were as easy as it sounds.
It's nice to you took before and after pictures so you can see all the progress you've made. It seriously looks nice. And think of all the pride you'll take in your beautiful backyard. I think I sometimes appreciate stuff more when I do all the hard work myself.
It looks really good! You have done a ton even in the last couple of weeks since we saw it. I'm excited to see all the new plants you choose. Oh, and I just read in my magazine that September is the best month to buy plants--50% off on clearance! So, if you feel up to planting...
I think it look awesome! We've had to do all the yard work on our rental house so I know how hard yard work can be, and you've made a huge improvement! Can't wait to see the front.
Great before and after shots. Wow! It's so green! And that is really big. It would be so much fun to have a yard to play around in.
Lookin' good guys!
Wow! That is a lot of work, we know because our house was empty for a while before we bought it too. It still needs a lot of work, even though we have lived here for years!
AWESOME JOB!
