Yard Work Day








When we bought our home in May we had no idea about the beautiful flower gardens that came with it. All summer long we were thrilled with each and every bloom (and there were thousands). We didn't even mind the weeding that went along with our beautiful yard because it was finally ours. Justin and I would walk around the yard and notice how the previous owners had a wonderful green thumb and talk about how nervous we were that we would wreck the whole thing. The first time we ventured out to weed, Justin's mom had to come over and show us which of the plants to keep and which ones to pull out. Today the weather was nice enough that we could go out and clean the flower beds for the winter.
I can hardly wait to see the flowers again in the spring, but for now I am glad that we were able to work together to clean up the yard for the cold months ahead of us.

You guys are sooo much better at getting your yard work done than we are. We love your back yard - totally worth it!

That is pretty amazing that your boys have a smile on their face while they work.
