Landscaping

We are finally getting some landscaping done in the front of the house. Seth, Riley and Caleb have been over for a couple of days helping us work on things. Last week they took a tree that was planted on our deck and planted it in the front yard. Not an easy task I might add. It was a small tree when we moved here, but took up a third of our deck this year. I can't believe how much it has grown. It is a miniature Japanese Maple, but has really grown in a year and a half. The front of our yard had one bush, and I want to take it out. That is the only thing our yard had in it. I guess in a way it is good, we don't have to take a bunch of stuff out we don't like. It is certainly a blank slate to start with!! It has driven me nuts! Those of you that know me , know all the flowers and gardens I had at the farm. Gary said we could start this year---yea!! I don't know what we would do without the boys. They work sooooo hard!! Took all the top layer of grass off first---had to dig all the holes----some pretty big ones!!! Plant every thing----and mulch. Even mow the grass, weed whack, edge the drive and sidewalks in there. We would never get it done without them! I'll put pictures up soon. I should have taken some before, but you can imagine a very plain house with nothing I am sure!
