Sorry so many entries today, it was just a busy weekend! This is really for all of my siblings---
there is just something about living in the old family house, everyone is attached to everything. So here are the new beds out front, most of the bushes are gone, and baby bushes in their places.
Here is the only frontal view of the house before the change that I could find (after our April snow shower).
pulling out the bushes
15 tons of rock to fill the beds
I love the new rock, and it was cheap!
(only $8 a ton)
The boys and I filled this bed by hand by filling bucket loads. It took 4 hours and a lot of sore muscles. When you live in town, you have to find creative ways to teach your children how to work.
But, we were glad dad brought a tractor home the next day to finish the job!
Looks a little sparse now, but really nice in person!

It looks pretty. Naturally, I think I'd be sad, but that front yard looked terrible. I hated those out of control bushes. SO Ü This time...I approve
