If there was an award for the blogger who wrote the most about landscaping, specifically pachysandra, I would win by a landslide.

But, the bitch sessions are and will be decreasing because the pesky vines and eyesore of a front lawn is GONE! Yes – GONE! Monday afternoon, the huge John Deere bulldozer came and raked the front clean. I, literally, made a small bag of popcorn and watched the whole show front row. Isaiah was mesmerized.

So, there we were, two happy souls watching the deforestation of our own property and I celebrated with some popcorn and Snapple while I took pictures. It now is just a bunch of dirt paved over and people STILL say, “Wow! It looks great!”

You know things are bad when you just shaved your front lawn and people exclaim GREAT.

The planting process will commence once a tree stump is removed sometime today.

You just won’t believe how AMAZING it is to just look at our front lawn and not feel like we need a machete to get to the street.
