SO much work!!

My goodness this yard is huge. I mean, I've honestly never ever seen a yard this huge before. I thought the house in Dothan had a big yard but WOW!!!!!! Haha. I need to take pictures. I should have taken pictures before we started this project we're doing.. man...I better do it soon so that you can see the before/after. Ok, let me just say..this yard...is huge....And it's very overgrown. There's land around the Huge Yard but it's so overgrown with weeds/shrubs/etc that you really can't do anything without bulldozing the mess out of it, and we can't afford that, and it's not technically our house, so we are just dealing with the greenery around the house and in the part of the Huge Yard that we can access with a mower/weeder. For some reason these people really LOVE these UGLY bushes. They are LINING every flower bed and sidewalk surrounding our house. I hate them. Brad hates them. Enter the chainsaw. Yep, Brad's now a lumber jack, man I think he looks sexy holding that thing with them AWESOME goggles on. And I am now the proud owner of a hedge trimmer...looks like an electric knife only tons bigger ;) and it's for hedges not meat... ;) My toy requires 24 hour battery charging, however, so I have not seen it in action as of yet. I did however get out with my little hedge trimmers and manually trim a few of these UGLY bushes (the ones we are deciding to let live because it creates a wall around the property and on the other side of this wall is a rather large drop off) We ALMOST literally live in the woods by the way. I mean, just the other day a momma and two baby deer circled around the house. They were absolutely beautiful. Anyway, my point is, we've been outside a lot lately, cutting these ugly bushes and pruning the ones that we're keeping, and the kids have been having a blast being outdoors and running around. I will have to post pics of it soon :)
