Room to Roam

C, hard at work on the mower. And yeah baby, that's one of our sixty year old peony bushes!

Did I mention our yard is huge? Okay, I know some people are surrounded by even more space than we are, but in the world we came from (postage stamp city parcel) this thing is mammoth. It takes an hour and a half on the riding lawnmower just to cut the grass. That doesn't include weed wacking, pulling stray weeds, trimming foliage, and picking up the plethora of sticks that the ancient trees seem to poop down on a daily basis. But I love it - it's fun! We've been so busy on the weekends though, that lately we kind of look like the run-down house in the neighborhood. Our neighbors would probably frown upon that, except that they can't see it, due to the massive trees concealing our house from the road. Ha! We win!

Don't know what these are but the crazy bushes in front of our house exploded into these for about two weeks. They are all gone now, but weren't they lovely?
