Lists & Sunburns

The past two weekends have been backbreaking work and I have the sunburn to prove it. My Dad has been helping me try to take back control of my yard...since the house was vacant for over a year before I even bought it, there is so much overgrowth it's going to take forever to reclaim the entire yard. Yet we have had some breakthroughs.

• First, he finished the semi-round wall and has cut up the remainder of the timbers for easy disposal.
• Second, we have cleaned and "made pretty" the side area by the AC. It was once a mess of overgrown grass; but now I've planted an Azealea bush, 3 carnation plants and 3 twister grasses...plus mulched.
• Third, my Dad and about 5 chainsaw blades have finally gotten rid of the majority of the stumps by my porch. This will come in handy down the road.
• Fourth, we mulched the contorted filbert bed, that I mentioned in my previous posting.
• Fifth, we created a 15' long flower bed along the house and planted some Liriope.

I'll include some photos when I get some daylight hours to take photos...I've been working long hours at work lately and it's dark by the time I get home :-(
