Yardwork. Man alive if that is one thing I have not spent much time on, nor had much interest in, in my life! This whole home ownership thing has been a huge learning curve for me, but I have to say that I have enjoyed it. I am posting this picture because those who have been to my house know that when I bought it, there were two ugly trees out front where that big bed with one tree is now (other plants will join that tree later). I had the yucky trees taken down about two months ago and got other trees and plants from my dad's tree farm. I had two trees taken down and between the front and back yards, had 7 put in! My sister has a horticulture degree, so she is the one that decided what needed to be done. Believe me, I had NO idea what to even say I wanted! Keeping all of it watered has been a job, but it think it is all finally starting to settle in, so I thought it was time to post a picture...besides the fact that I slaved away when I got home today getting my grass cut in hopes of that ever elusive rain that they are sort of promising for the weekend...or at least that is what I last heard. Good gosh it was hot and I was WAY tired by the time I got though with of it, but it looks crisp and maintained right now, so I knew I better be snapping! Unfortunately, it won't last long!

I would hate to see a yard that relied on Beth Lawless to maintain! Your yard looks amazing! Beth
Man, what a great looking yard. I absolutely HATE yard work. Don't like it at all. Keep it up and hopefully the rain will help soon.
I love the way the yard looks when you get done working on it and you feel like you really accomplished something. Then you sleep so-o-o-o good! You just may not be able to remove yourself from the bed the next morning. ouch!
do you do house calls? or should I say yard calls? we will gladly let you come over and cut, trim or do any type of yard work you'd like... :)
