Michael was a pro at using the chainsaw and clearing away all the overgrown trees and bushes in the backyard.
Michael was able to quickly turn all those plants into small stumps! Notice that there are no pictures of me with the chainsaw, I think we all know it would not end well if I tried to use it.
Back when we first moved in, we couldn't get the cable turned on because of the giant tree and random plants in front of the telephone pole- they are now all gone!
The three overgrown ficus trees are also gone! Sadly, the orange tree also had to go. After so many years of neglect it just wasn't growing.
The previous owners of this house really like to decorate the yard with large rocks, bricks and other heavy objects. This is just one pile.
Toby and Charlie are wondering why humans would put so many rocks in a perfectly good yard.
We always seem to find interesting things in the yard- this is by far my favorite! I just hope it wasn't a gravestone marker for the family's former pet duck!
The yard is looking so great! Once we jackhammer up the cement, we can start with a clean slate!
