Landscaping Fun

We have spent the last three days cleaning up our landscaping in the front yard. It involved two huge trailer fulls of dead plants and bushes we cleaned out, actually renting a tiller, a fairly bad sunburn, and poison ivy all over my arms! It looks about a million times better, but now we need a small fortune in plants to fill in our giant, just cleaned flower beds. The worst part is there is no before picture to show just how bad things were so that all of you reading could appreciate just how much we did. I will say that in the process we broke two shovels and a spade, and had to resort to a pick axe and a chainsaw to get some of the dead bushes out. I made a couple of trips to Home Depot hoping that surprise landscape show would appear and ask if they could make over my landscape, but no such luck. Here's a look.

While John and I were working, Scrappy and Rowdy decided to take things easy and enjoy the sunshine.
