Backyard Before & After - round 1

(BEFORE)

When we first got the house in the middle of the summer, the plants in the backyard were pretty over-grown, to a point where you couldn't really walk through the pathway.  There are definitely lots of material here to work with but the first step is to clear up all the overgrown plants and weeds.

For some reason, I find pulling weeds and pruning plants quite therapeutic.  Other than the physical aspect of gardening (it's a great workout!), I also find it extremely relaxing.  I seem to lose track of time when I'm in the garden (the next thing you know 3 hours has past by and you have a nice tan and it's close to dinner time).  I feel so good and accomplished after working on the garden - the overgrown plants are gone, weeds are gone, and now more space for the plants to properly grow :) 

(AFTER)
Here's a "After" view, post-clean up.  This is only round "1" of many many more rounds of cleaning.... stay tuned for more ! :)
