I Wish I Had Before Pictures

If you just read my blog, you might think I’ve dropped off the face of the Earth into an unproductive abyss. I’m still here, getting a lot done. Unfortunately for my blog, I have not energy by the end of the day. So what have I been up to? Yard work! Isn’t that the purpose of Spring?
This year we decided to tackle the backyard. While it doesn’t look horrible, portions of the yard haven’t really been touched in decades. Anything that is growing survived years of neglect.
Here’s the short list of activities:
- Cut down garbage trees and dead trees
- Weed large flower bed
- Fill trailer with old wood bins, picket fence, and other debris
- Trim crabapple tree
- Plant lots of plants in the front yard
My nemesis, our neighbors dead pine tree, is schedule to be cut down in a few weeks. Then we’ll have a new set of projects:
- Tear down shed
- Remove old fence
- Build new fence
- Build raised beds for vegetables (the vegetables probably won’t be planted until next year)
It’s fun to see our yard transform into a place we love.
