Snippets of Time

I have been so anxious to have our Landscaping Redone. Since we remodeled our home last year the yard has been pretty much untouched. We have been walking a plank {literally} coming out our back door into the yard. We didn't put in any stairs....we thought we would wait until we were sure how we wanted our back yard layed out. Dandelions, Crab Grass, Weeds, makeshift fences {to keep our little doggie in} are long past due to come out!! Top on our list or should I say my list is to take out the Huge Pine Trees that lurk in our front garden. I have begged Mark for years to take them out. He loves them but then he never or hardly ever picked up the endless pine cones and needles {I'm talking garbage bags full each time I weeded the garden}. Nothing grows under them, they are straggly, giant and unwanted. As far as I am concerned pine trees are for the mountains only!! Mark could finally see the need to take them out.....He was a champ and worked so hard to get them out...you know I was in his back pocket obeying all commands making sure they would really come down. It reminded me of taking out all the big cottonwood trees at Bear Lake!



Mark's hanging out {literally} in the top of the tree. YIKES



Thank goodness for neighbors and an awesome son-in-law!! Nate is always so willing to help!






The little boys always manage to find entertainment while the job is being done. They actually were a lot of help once we started loading it up to haul it away! They definitely know how to work :) I love these little guys {which by the way they are not so little anymore}



YES!! I love this photo....26 years worth of growth and down she blows. This is the beginning of the big project!! The before picture.....awaiting the after picture *SMILE*
