The Yard clean-up...

It is 90 degrees today... what, I have to admit I like it. I was kind of stoked last week when it was grey and raining... than I had to leave the house and do a bunch of stuff, I realized the rain kind of sucks... and I am not ready to give up my flip flops yet, so I will enjoy this bright sunny weather, leave my skirts and tanks on for a couple more days at least. And than maybe I will be prepared to enjoy the change of seasons. I need rain boots!
We finally broke down and hired someone to come out and clean up the yard. It is an insane yard and we just couldn't get our heads around it. Michael was a crazy gardener, and left the yard in a horrible un-manageable mess! There was way to much stuff crammed into the yard and not enough time in the day to keep it from looking like the set of jumanji....
before.....
after..... (oh my gosh there is a house there)

after....
Our friend Dan came out and did it in one day with his crew, they are amazing! We still have allot of work to do, but at least we are starting from a semi-clean slate, rather than an over-grown weed pit. I have to admit I wanted the yard crashers to come in from HGTV and re-do the whole thing... Dan was a good second best though!
