A Little Fall Clean-up

We took advantage of the gorgeous weather this weekend to get things ~ meaning landscaping things ~ under control. With all the rain we have had, things were getting a bit unruly so it was high time that we took back control. We don't have a lot of property, but we did inherit lots of bushes that grow wildly no matter how much we wish that they didn't. Here's a look at the before:


Like that butt shot of Ed? He is very happy with me about that one. :) With my gardening gloves on and my gardening shears in hand, I went to town. It was time to trim back those mother's so that we could actually see the numbers on the house again! We also bought some mulch and weed killer for the front garden to spruce things up a bit. Take a look at my handy work after a few hours:



There is nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment after a good day's work. :) With the addition of some beautiful mums and some Fall fun, it looks like we are ready for the Trick-or-Treater's come Halloween!
