Good Bye UGLY Garden!!

For all of you that have been to our home, you've seen the hideously overgrown ugly bee and ant infested garden that was growing in the middle of our front yard, courtesy of the previous owners. ARGH.

Well this last weekend, with all the wonderful weather, we (meaning Ted) decided to dig it up! HURRAY!
We also ripped out the rickety front fence and put hedging there... now grow, darnit, grow!!

Can't wait to lay the new grass down! We just need some more sunny weather, and with this SNOW we had today, I'm not holding my breath!

We had some great help from my dad, my dad in law, and my mom in law.

HEY! Enough standing around! Get to WORK!!



Daddy and his special helper... is Ashleigh wearing white in that dirt pile?!?!? Ugh.



And her special duty as Special Helper, was to ensure that Daddy was equipped with a cold beer at all times... she was pretty good at her job.... maybe too good?

Oh! And the winter mitts were her "gardening gloves" and yes, those are gumboots she has on. LOL

I see that Gord taught Ian his supervising techniques very well!!
But then, he always was a quick study!!! haha
Between that diet and all that physical labour, Ted is going to waste away to a shadow!! Mind you, the beer may alleviate that problem!! haha
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Lovin' ya lots, Gram XOX

OMG lol! Good job, Sunshine! Her an Serejane can swap stories on being the Devil Juice providers some day... lol (Are we sending our daughters the wrong message or what? Waitressing is always a good thing to have as a fall-back, mind you... lol)
