I walked around the yard last week and took a lot of pictures. I sat down at the computer and looked at them and made a (long) list of things I wanted to do.

One side of the house had gotten overgrown so I decided to do something about it this past weekend. I took pictures when I was finished so I could share some before and after photos.

Before..the bushes by the house were over my head!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother’s Day this past weekend. One of my favorites have been blooming recently… gardenias! My yard smells heavenly! If these will grow in your area I think you need to add a couple to your yard!
