Well actually this is our first weekend of yard work at our house. You know when we looked at the house I thought, “Oh this is pretty. Look at all the flower beds!” I however did not think about that would be us taking care of ALL those flower beds! The yard really needed some work! We recruited some friends and spent our Saturday out there! Thought I would share some before and after pictures. Oh and keep in mind this is not even all of the flower beds!
Front of the house: They put so many bushes in they were taking over each other. We took two out to let the other grow.
Crazy how cutting a few limbs off will make such a big difference. And of course raking all the leaves out!
After a lot of digging, pulling and hoeing we now have a flower bed that is ready for planting!
Once over grown with weeds. Now all hoed up and no weeds!
Talk about needing some trimming! This little area took awhile with it alone.
Ryan doing some clipping. Now we can walk on that side walk!
Kenny was doing some clipping too! Let’s just say there was a lot of trimming going on!
Brigitte working hard. Hoeing is a good workout!
5 hours of work and 20 lawn bags (literally) later we got a huge chunk of the work done! This picture describes my thoughts on the 20 bags of trimming and leaves! ha.
Maybe next weekend we will plan for a race instead 😉
We are oh so thankful for Brigitte and Kenny helping us out!
