landscapers

we had our backyard regraded, some trees trimmed, the flower beds cleaned and mulched and a few hedges ripped out.
im ready to plant tomatoes and basil and get cookin.
here is a before and after.- you can actually see our windows on the second floor now.
and the weed that i was telling everyone was a sunflower garden was finally chopped!

in memoriam...

right outside of the little b's bedroom window, in the holly tree was a sweet little nest with 3 eggs
the gardeners made sure to preserve but not touch it
and just pruned around it. (incidentally there's a robins nest in the backyard too but i digress...)
Later in the day, the eggs were gone.
and we know it was either the local hawk or the pesty bluejay and its all our fault for exposing the nest. we are sorry birds!
