The AFTER pictures

My sweet mama gave me a wonderful gift of a yard remodel!  It's been so much fun watching Evan and Josh peel up grass and combine two small beds into one, using all the rocks Mike and I put in last summer.

I can hardly wait for these babies to grow tall enough to provide a screen to obscure the view of the new house across the street.

To each his own and all, but the ultra modern house still looks--as Carlene said--like Bojangles.  That or a branch of Chase Bank.
