Landscaping...

So Bear and I are not the gardening, lawn mowing type of people. In fact, we have outsourced our lawn mowing, which makes our marriage a happier union. How do we maintain the exterior of The Pitt? I have a co-worker and friend that loves gardening; loves it so much that she has volunteered to come over and garden. Garden the 2 acre Pitt. She made an appearance this weekend with her Subaru and a Pickaxe. We had to remove the bushes right next to the house so we can install the new windows, replace the rotting framing, and change the siding. I didn't like the way they looked anyway, so I'm not to upset about it.

So you can truly appreciate the amount of work we put in, check out the before picture:


See all the bushes? This weekend they are GONE! FOREVER!

Step One: The Subaru



Step Two: Pull




Step Three: Pickaxe

Step Four: No more bushes!!




We weren't the only ones exhausted in this process. These guys ate dinner and went right to bed:
