Spring Break and Spring in general...

...means something different in this house than the last ones.
 It means Yard work.
 Intense Yard work.




With the bushes cut down and ready to rip out the yard looks even bigger.

This is the out front tree. I can see now why its big branches couldn't hold up T.'s weight. It had nearly rotten through! The beauty of it will be missed but not the fruit. Who plants a fruit tree in the front yard as a shade tree anyways?

One of my favorite finds in the back yard. Raking up rocks( boulders would be more like it) and debris has its perks. Treasure. A grass hat. The grass was seriously growing on the top of it. Cool!

D.'s shed is getting closer and closer to looking like the awesome Ceramics Studio it will become. He is even going to let me plant a wisteria bush to climb up the road facing side. Like some kind of cottage. An Art cottage I guess.
All of this work is quite satisfying as the yard is changing and looking like a place the kids might even dare venture into. It's a lot of work and still will be for years to come, and I am glad. I love the neighborhood, love the house and love the yard. We are so blessed to live here!
