before and after...

so, we've been working on the yard like crazy. in the dead heat of summer. whew! i mowed the lawn yesterday as michael edged and washed off the bottom of the house with a pressure washer . he had so much fun with that thing! i spent this morning hedging the shrubs and bushes. i think it looks pretty good. whatcha' think?

please notice in this picture how the tall topiary shrubs look like the volleyball, wilson, in the movie cast away. long hair on top. so funny! this picture was taken before all of the hard work i did a few weeks ago with the mulch and flowers.this is the "after" picture that i took this afternoon once i had finished all of the hedging (thank jenny for the loan-and i didn't even cut the cord!).
man, i'm glad this part is done!
