Bulbs!

As if the interior renovations weren't enough work, we decided to tackle a couple projects needing done in the yard.

As soon as we received the results from the home inspection we knew that we would be removing the many, many landscape timbers that framed e-v-e-r-y side of our house. It wasn't until we were plagued by ants that we realized it would be a priority. We spent too much money on this house to feed it to the bugs.

Before we could go to work on those pesky timbers I had to remove the bulbs from in front of some of them. If we didn't they would be buried under all the dirt being held back by the wall and probably never seen again.


I must say, it was a little more of a chore than I anticipated. Who knew that many bulbs could be buried under there?! I can't wait to get all these little bulbs into the ground for easy care around the fence line and some pretty blooms in the spring next year!

 
In addition to the bulbs we found an obscene amount of worms to toss in the compost bin. Marinn and Amelia helped in the worm hunt.
 
 
We also found this little guy who ended up being terrorized by our girls and the neighbors girls before Andy released him.
 
 
And now the real work begins.
