The Jungle

We spent some time last weekend taming the jungle of a backyard that we have.  It was long overdue.  It's been hard to carve out the time with work and the kids. 

Before:

We had our lazy boys help.  And they whined and complained the whole time.  :)  But it was hot and a lot of work.  Plus the wasps were out. 

Look at this!  It took 4 loads to get rid of it.

After:

 

It isn't really after because we aren't done.  We still need to do some more weeding and get a couple loads of wood chips.  Still, what a difference.  I can't believe how much bigger our yard looks.
