HOUSE WORK


 The past couple of weeks have been crazy for us, Steve had back surgery this past week, my brother and his wife come to Fort Collins the week before and the week before that we were in Idaho! I needed some R&R. Naturally I thought of house work(its better than any massage). Our front yard and our back yard is in desperate need of some help! The people before us didn't take care of the grass, the weeds that are growing rapidly(like 2 feet tall in the back yard, that our project for when Steves parents come out) or any of the plants. So I went to work planting 3 trees, 10 bushes and moved a bushed that is hanging on its last leg!

 This is the "before picture" see that HUGE bush thing in the front? Well that was a combination of a weed and a bush, that is the one I moved.



 its hard to see but all the weeds in the rock, and the awkward rock...

And after! the bushes I wanted were pricey so I went with the smallest one we could buy so I could do them in the front and down the driveway. So they are little now but with some love they will grow in! And no more weeds:-)
 of course Buddy helped all day "protecting" I mean barking at our neighbors.
Steve wanted to help so bad! It's kinda our thing we do together as a couple, we love doing house projects together, but with his back he just sat and watched, it was still fun having him outside with me:-)
