Ground Breaking

I did some of the home improvement that Hubby approves of; the free kind. We had a huge flower bed, sans flowers, blocking the front door. Even though we don't walk through the yard up to the door, I felt like I was stuck behind a "wall". So I moved the (heavy) stone border around to reconfigure the flower bed next to the driveway. I also used a snow shovel to move all that mulch into the new area.

 While I was at it, I cleaned up the edge next to the driveway where the monkey grass was taking over. In some spots I recovered 3 feet of driveway from the overgrowth! I transplanted the monkey grass around the outside of the stone border. I didn't quite finish, but I can hardly move today.

Notice the nice weather we had on Groundhog Day. If this is the kind of "winter weather" we can expect for the next 6 weeks, then I can live with that!
