Yard Work

I was so excited to have my mom and brother to come down for Memorial Day! We had a cook out and then YARD WORK!!!!

BEFORE PICTURES

This picture was taken May 23. The ferns were about 6-12 inches taller!

And ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!!!! So much so that my solar lights would not come on because they were not getting enough sun throughout the day!

This is the other side of the front door. There was railroad ties staked into the ground and MORE ferns.
THE AFTER PHOTOS!!!!!

Yep, we ripped out ALL of the ferns and moved the hostas about 10 inches back. We also took out all the railroad ties and put down some edging that my mom had taken out of her backyard. As corny as this may sound, I love the fact that my mom kept the edging; my dad put them in around the house. He loved gardening and I can only hope to have a "green thumb" like my Dad!

This is the other side of the house again. After we took out the ties, we shoveled off the sod and made the area bigger. We then planted some flowers! Hopefully they all will grow and look good!

We keep working on the house. It is a lot of fun and we enjoy "almost" every minute of it!!!

Till next time
