Yard Work

 We are not yard work people.  Never have been; never really will be.  BUT last summer I decided to tackle some things and just "move around the house" making things look nice.  It all went well until I got Poison Ivy and then that shut down any desire I had to keep going on the yard! Well, I know where the poison ivy is (I see it's ugly three leaved vine poking up and around!) and am staying far away from it.  Darryl's going to work on getting rid of (shoot, I don't even mow near it right now "just in case" HA!).  

Thankfully a good portion of the project area is ivy free so we worked on that this weekend.  

The before photos!  In the middle of getting the lawn mowed too! 

More before :-) 

After - I love my lion I got last year and decided top place him in a more prominent location this year.  

The finished side yard.  All the weeding was done and our decorations were put out. 

Notice my "flowers" this year?  HA!  With all of the other rising prices I just couldn't justify buying flowers right now.  These are easier to care for - no watering! 

Finally, Willamenia always looks better with a hair cut!  I just love my willow tree.  She lost a big branch this spring in a wind storm but otherwise she is filling out nicely this year.
