Still No Sewing...

Saturday and Sunday were spent outside. The weather was beautiful, low 70's, sunny and no humidity. This is my front garden that is over grown and in need of some cleaning out.

I have really disliked these bushes for a while and decided it was time for them to go. Gardening is much like quilting, some things work and some don't work.


Lucky for me I have a husband who loves to do this kind of "gardening".


A large John Deere tractor is a wonderful thing!


We ended up pulling out 9 bushes that were overgrown and damaged by the winter snow and ice.


There was even a little helper.


The porch got scrubbed, the pollen is really bad this year. It was everywhere!


She likes to clean and garden!

My husband even cooked dinner, surf and turf. What a great guy!
I hope all you moms had a great day.

  1. It looks like a busy, productive day? It's great that your DH had the equipment to do the big job of moving bushes! It's always so nice to have a new planting area.
    What wonderful helpers you have! :)

  8. It's a grand time to do gardening and we have the same challenges with pollen here! You are lucky you have a hubby who will help with the gardening!!! It was truly a bad winter for gardening! Are you going to put something else in that part of your garden?

  9. Must be something in the air - and I don't mean pollen! - we pulled out our old bushes too! Looking forward to starting fresh. Your little helper is darling! and your big helper is awesome - garden help and he cooks too! I must say, much like my own hubby. Happy Mother's Day!
