Yard Work

Me and Scotty have been in this house a year now and even though we did some yard work last year, we decided it was time to do a little more. When we moved in a year ago, the other houses on our cul de sac weren't built yet. We started noticing some drainage problems after the landscaping was done on our neighbor's house. Every time it would rain our yard would flood. So we got the landscapers to put in a French drain, fixed up our flower beds, and got a fence!! Me and Scotty have decided that we like yard work and it's something we can do together!! Our yard looks great and we're so proud of it!!

Here are a couple of pictures of what we like to call "Davis Lake".

You could pretty much drive a jet ski through that!

And here's our jungle. Our neighborhood covenants require us to pay $50 a month for lawn service. As you can see they were slacking a bit so Scotty had to get out there and take care of the problem!! Some of those big weeds in the back were almost waist high!! Can you say reimbursment?
This is the same flower bed we fixed up last year so this year we just did a few minor improvements on it. We planted fresh flowers and trimmed it out with monkey grass we got from our friends Ashley and Jennifer. See our fence in the background!!
This is our newest flower bed. I had to leave our bird bath at our old house when we moved so Scotty got me this one that's way better!!

Our little vines have already started making their way up the trellis!!

I potted these flowers to put out by the front door.

And I made this flower arrangement to hang on our front door!!
Our yard has come a long way since last year. Each spring we build on what we did the season before. Next year we can start on the backyard!!!
