Our property has been previously beautifully landscaped. Which I'm eternally grateful because I lack an artistic eye when it comes to landscaping, but I can appreciate a nice one when I see it. The trouble with mine are that they have been sadly neglected. The previous owners had left without bothering to do a fall cleanup. So I got my hands full this spring. Thankfully, my two daughters will be home and between the three of us, we should be able to get the task done. Today I tackled the first bed. This is what I had to deal with.
And after I cleared the old growth from the bed.
I was also pleased to see our koi swiming happily in the pond. Okay, I'm not sure if they were happy but I like to think all our pets as happy.
And I'm adding this photo just because this visitor was so darn cute.
