Cleansing the outer vessel...

Ugh!

I have to admit that landscaping is not my favorite thing. So take what you're about to see with a grain of salt. In order to collaborate with Camila on landscaping plans, I've posted "before" pics of our landscaping as of today. Keep in mind these are "before", as in before anything has been done. After I posted them, and was looking at them, I thought that perhaps I should just move into a trailer park, I would have a nicer home. I'm so embarrased that my property looks like this. But I really haven't invested any energy into the landscaping since I bought the place. However when I'm done I think it will knock your socks off!!


So without further adieu, enjoy this tour of white-trash-ville....

This is what my roommate's 7yo daughter thinks I should do with my front yard...











And here's what she thinks I should do with my back yard...




6 friends had this to say...:

hey, you should have seen our "landscaping" (or lack there of) for the first 3 or 4 years of living here. it would make yours look very nice! we were the epitome of white trash yard! Landscaping just takes so long when you do it yourself!

I can't wait to see the after pictures! have fun!

I like the pool idea in the backyard! Landscaping stinks. That's why I leave it all up to Lester. :-) But I'm sure you'll do a great job!
