Last week I said that it was such a nice day that I thought I’d go out and start cleaning up<\/a> the front garden beds. Well I did. As much as I could anyway, given that there was still some snow on the lawn and in some of the beds:<\/p>\n

Now do you believe me when I say we’ve got a small front lawn? Look at that, the grass area which is still covered in snow, is smaller than our compact car! It’s actually a good thing that the front boulevard was covered in very deep snow most of the winter because it was really a sight for sore eyes once the snow melted.<\/p>\n

In case you’re wondering the boulevard was still full of hard woody sunflower stalks and the stakes that held the tall flowers up last year.<\/p>\n

A few hours in the increasingly cold afternoon and at least three yard waste bags later and the front boulevard looked like this:<\/p>\n

I didn’t take after photos of the front garden beds, but they and the back garden beds were a lot tidier too with most of the leaves that had blown on them removed and some of the old dead foliage cut down.<\/p>\n
