Unfortunately my parents are boneheads, and they didn't take a good before picture. But our front yard was quite unruly. Daddy and Grandpa D did backbreaking labor for a whole weekend to get it tamed. The activity brought out ALL the greatful neighbors. They said the beds hadn't been touched in 5 years! That's a lot of taming to do!
Here are the heroes of the weekend!
Look how neat and tidy everything is!
Check out our new red Japanese maple. She's a beauty!
What a lovely backdrop!
I was a lot of help, as usual.
Eating mulch...
Being my cute self!
