More yard work this weekend...

Troy was home this weekend so we took advantage of the nice weather and worked outside. We raked, moved stone, dug out a seedling growing fast, edged the sidewalk and driveway, trimmed down three bushes to pull, cut grass and weed whacked! We have a TON of stuff for trash day. I also weeded and planted in the front garden. We didn't want to buy too many plants this year so I'm using a lot of what was already in our yard and replanting it. The yellow tulips were a nice surprise from the old owners. A neighbor even gave me a purple cone plant. It looks so clean around the yard now. We even got "It looks beautiful" from a couple people on their evening walk Sunday night.




Back yard: Troy cleared out all the wood and stones around the weeping pine tree. Here is a pic of the garage that will be torn down soon to build a new!


Here are the remains of the 3 nasty bushes I cut down with clippers!
