Confession is good for the soul.
This is sort of embarrassing.
But we're being totally honest, here.
We are learning to take care of our considerable yard.

We are learning to take care of our considerable yard.
We live on a large lot, and WE are the ones taking care of it. Just like everyone else, I guess, but this is something we've had to get used to. On the mission field, we often had help keeping the yard, or else we were living in an apartment.
But now, it is all up to us! So besides keeping the lawn mowed, what else do you do? Planting flowers isn't as easy as it sounds. You have to know where to plant them (sun, shade, etc.). You have to remember to water them. You have to weed them. And fertilizing helps (which fertilizer? How often?). Not to mention..... we have 46 oak trees in our yard that drop billions of leaves every single year! And that is not even counting the hundreds of trees on the surrounding property around our house. So we are learning as we go.
And here's hoping you will see an imrovement.

Come back next year, and see if we were able to make any improvements.
See you then!
See you then!
You can do it! You've already done improvements since you've been there, so I think your yard has a good start!
ReplyDeleteI have a few yard boys I can recommend for mowing. HAHA They also know how to build tree forts, ugly forts and leave MOUNDS of limbs and logs in curious piles, that used to be stick forts! Oh wait those are not preferred in the yard! Someday I will have my "girly" yard! but for now we are working on putting in a batting cage! I wonder what kind of ivy would look good on there. HAHAHA
