BA's Garden for Wedding
The before pictures are in my blog entry below. These three are from Chris' and my work over the last couple of days. We have taken out 10 leaf bags full of perennial "overgrowth" and now the garden is ready for Melissa to do her magic - that is select the right plants and color for the 8/22 wedding. We'll also fill in the gaps with fresh bark or wood chips, whatever BA and family select. We're right on schedule to finish it well before the wedding.

Our Wedding Gift to Michelle and Jason
BA, Michelle, and Jason accepted our wedding gift offer to shape and update the front garden for the wedding on 8/22. They are doing a lot to the house, inside and out, and this will be a nice complement to what they are already doing.
After we made the offer, we found that M and J had changed their minds about where to have the ceremony. It's going to now be in the front, as in the 2nd pic, with the guests standing or sitting on chair on the lawn, sidewalk, and street. Oh no, the pressure is on to do a great job of cleaning up, shaping, pruning, and adding colorful plants and bark. These are the "before" pics. Chris and I will start next week after MK and I go to Seattle for the weekend to see Duncan and Betsy.
Several years ago, we did a family project and put in the garden. They have maintained it over the years, but for this special occasion, it needs our special touch. I certainly wish all of MK's children were here to help re-do the garden they helped put in. I'll keep pics coming on my blog.

David's House
The back yard and covered patio (and New Braunfels Smoker) is where they spend their time. Many a brisket and rack of ribs have already come off that smoker. The front view shows the recent yard work and trim painting done by a young painter who has worked on our house. The overall result, painting, yard work, and inside work have given David and Laura a wonderful, functional, and comfortable home. Fenced all around in the back and quite private. Now that David is retired, I'm sure he'll find no end of "projects" to occupy his time (and drain his wallet!).
