Bombard the yard

Or just bomb it! Here's Trevor, cutting-in, showcasing his ditch-digging skills. Check out the before and after photos-these were the initial photos of the jungle before we started taming it:

Court stopped over to lend a hand and moral support.

Tyler takes his usual extreme, unorthodox approach to problem-solving!

While Lana prefers the Zen salutation to the sun approach-Ohhhhmmmm!
Then...we went on vacation, had a rainstorm complete with flooding, and let the weeds get nice and big again. Hmmm, this decent weather is not going to last much longer AND the job doesn't seem to be getting any more appealing...SO, we got out the Roundup again a few days ago and made the resolve to git er dun on Sunday. As you may or may not know, Sunday is a sacred day around here and the old conservative dutchy types don't really like to see you out in the yard on this day, doing yardwork, sweating, and letting the occaisional colorful phrasology resound. We did all of that and more, I'm afraid, but hey, honestly, this is the only time I had open in my schedule. We'll repent later. Our goal was to get his done before the first snow, which, for all we know, could be tomorrow! It is West Michigan :)

Trevor shoveled, Lana did the ground work and leveled it

Lana threw down the Preen while Trevor mowed

Not perfect, but a heck of a lot better! This should be easier next spring...

So, next project: clean the garage! There's always somethin'!
