MANUEL LABOR

Ok for those of you that really know us, well let's just say that we are not the manuel labor kind of people. Much less working in the yard kind of people, but tody that is exactly what we did. We had a corner in front f the house that had just gotten out of hand. There was a tree in there that was taller than the roof of the house and just a whole bunch of dead shrubs and bushes. Crazy as i am though i forgot to take a before picture but believe me it was BAD! Well i just don"t know what got int me but i just decided it was time to get it all cleaned up. Mind you, it is still a work in progress but it is looking good so far. We cut the tree down and dug up all the dead plants and we found a really nice hedge bush in tere that just needed a little TLC so we kept it but everything else went. I had no idea Jay had all this in him, but we are both WHUPPED!!!!!! We hurt in place we never knew we had. The bush at the corner was the bush we found and if i say so it turned out ok. The smaller bush is the gardenia we brought home from mom's funeral. Maybe i can keep it alive, i am not usually very good with plants. And how do you guys like my little $1.99 improvised hose pot. To keep the water hose from just laying on the ground we bought a cheap flower pot. Jay drilled a hole in the side and presto a hose pot. i set it on a piece of left over tile and pored a few rocks in the bottom to help weight it dow, and it works great. We plan to add a bird feeder to the shephards hook and a few pretty color flowers and it will be awsome. I am quiet proud of us.
