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.
