All you gardeners will be pleased by the progress in our yard!   We had two giant 60 foot trees right in front of our house all these ten years we have had the house.  Needless to say they have cracked the foundation on the house.  We took them down last week! Then we hired a gardner and let him have his way with the front yard.  I have pictures!!!  Now would I tell you all of this and not give you pics?

The before pics!

The Gardner did this in three days! He completely tore out the old sprinkler system and put in a new one on a timer so we do not have to worry about it!  Here is the front yard now.  The little clumps of green all over are ground cover.


The After pics today.   He is not done yet.

wish i could help.  I love working in the yard (without 100 degree heat).

I need to water.  Everything is dying.

Come to think of it, nothing is funny anymore.

Nothing that I post here is intended for fact but rather for exploration into my personal thought processes.  Any slight, use of words with multiple connotations or other percieved insults are totally unintended.  I reserve my insults for private.
