Phase 1: Clean-up

Today we made our first efforts in the field of landscaping. Armed with a rake, a box of leaf & lawn trashbags and two pairs of blue-palmed rubber gloves we set off into the great unknown of our Front Yard.

• – We corraled four six – i’ve been corrected – bags of pine needles and leaves.
• – We dashed the hopes of two young holly trees.
• – We uprooted several hundred weeds – oh, I hope those were weeds.
• – We unearthed some landscaping stone from an age gone by.
• – We evicted the lawn cherub and her ceramic bunnies.
• – We set the mailbox free from its 4-inch plastic cage.

We still have 2/3 of the front yard left to do.
