soooo. i spent this beautiful day outdoors.
i don't recall if any of the girls who helped pick out colors remember the 20-ish bushes that were in the back?
well last fall i tore all of them out and hauled them away to a mulch place.
when i tore all of them down i found another tree growing in the midst of the bushes. WTF?
today i went and bought a saw and demolished that tree.
i also puppy proofed the backyard because bella was escaping to the neighbors.
i got the front and back ready for spring by getting rid of old leaves on the perennials.
then i finished picking up all the SHIT that had been hiding under those trees. years of leaves, branches, pine cones (HATE). in total filled 21 yard bags almost entirely of stuff that was in the back yard and also bundled six stacks of branches.
10 hours later and I'M EXHAUSTED!
i'm so proud of it! i'm going to have a little garden in the corner because it gets tons of light. and eventually i would like to put up a shed because our neighbors shed is a huge eye sore. AND i've kind of always dreamed of having a pond in my back yard because i'm a NERD. but of course those will have to wait. :)
however... for a girl with no job, i spent way too much money on yard bags, a saw, and fencing. blast you home depot!
