Side yard....

 This is a view of the side yard after I had worked on establishing the foundation bed recently. Spending some time in the space, hoeing, raking, weeding, observing allowed me to see some additional areas of our yard and landscaping that was in some dire need of improving. So the following day, I set out to work on clearing, cleaning, and tackling those darn over-grown evergreen trees!

I may have went a little crazy with the pruning shears and the saw, but look at all that open space now! I'm loving that view into our back yard and beyond.

A few hours later and after my hubby was pleasantly surprised, he began to get in on the action....

It wasn't long before we decided to stop right here for the night.
