A little yard work......

Happy Easter!

Chad and I went to Montana yesterday, and came back today! It was a super short trip.  We got home and because we finally had an AMAZING day here we decided to get started on some much needed yard work/putting stuff away.

Chad arranged and rearranged and put some stuff away in the garage while I swept up the mess from getting the roof reshingled out back and out front.  There are/were shingles and nails EVERYWHERE around the house, so it's going to be quite the project.  Travis helped sweep up the front =)

After we tackled that I felt ambitious because of the amazing weather.  Along the front of our house is quite the flower/shrub/etc area.  It is nicely tucked in a curvy shape.  When they reshingled the roof they trampled it and the snow beat it up as well.  So I cleaned up, to the best of my abilities having never really done it before, one section of the curve.  It took me almost 2 hours or more to just clean up this little section!  There are tons of nails and shingles in there and I'm sure I still didn't get them all, but, I did the best I could!

These are how some of the plants looked before I started:



Halfway done!

This section is done! It's a little rough around the edges, I know, but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out =)
