Our Sorry-Ass Front Yard

Three years ago, we moved back to the Pacific Northwest after a 4 year exile in Santa Fe, NM. I couldn't handle all of that sunshine and brown, dead crap everywhere...give me gray and green! I was so excited that I'd be able to have a gorgeous green lawn again.


Fast forward to the present.
We have the crappiest lawn on the block.
We have moss.
We have thatch.

We have anything but a lovely green lawn.





We've also got a rosebush run amok.


And a very lopsided Daphne (but the smell is still amazing!)


And so, DH and I have started the yard reclamation project. We have started raking out the moss...and let me tell you, that's a real fun job. Oh yeah.

Check back in a year for what are (I hope) absolutely STUNNING "after" shots.
