I've seriously missed all of my fave shows these past few weeks. I can't believe it's already season finale time! It actually makes me kinda glad I haven't watch any of my shows... it'll give me something to do when I have downtime (when?!?) after all this wedding business is ova!! I haven't returned phone calls, my hair is a crazzzy mess, and who knows when I last shaved my legs, because I don't!
Speaking of weddings, lemme tell you something, deciding that you're going to do a wedding at home is the worst idea ever. Especially when your parent's yard is practically a construction zone. My dad has a construction business that he runs out of our house. His workshop is our garage and back yard. We have a lot of work on our hands.
Also, our backyard needed a good amount of TLC. This past week or so, I took on a special project, our backyard garden. Take a look at what I had to work with:
Before
The lawn extended itself into the area
Seriously scared when I first saw this
The far side was my mom's "herb garden" I guess she was going au naturale
Seriously?
The mini-jungle that existed took about 5 hours of work to clear out. I pretty much bulldozed through all of the grass, just trying to get up all the dirt with the grass and throwing it away. Phase two:
After digging everything up, it seemed semi-workable. The only thing that held me back was this stupid toad, who seriously wouldn't leave. Put spiders, worms, beetles... anything in front of me, I don't care, but amphibians and reptiles make my heart jump into my throat, I thought I was going to throw up. All the same, I finished! Finished results!
Planting flowers!
Moved the flower bush...I hope it lives!...and I threw out the mums. Gross.
Herb Garden... the mess on the side will stay. My mom wouldn't let me fix it
Mulching!
There's TONS more work that needs to be done EVERYWHERE. Like the hole my dad dug 12 years ago to make a pond... and all the other crap around the deck and house that needs to disappear... wish me luck!!
Wow, look at you, Mrs. Green Thumb! Looks amazing!
