LOL. All of the ones on HGTV are usually only for Californians. Extreme Makeover? We're not disabled enough. That's a good thing though ... I think

LOL ... yeah I've seen worse. It's just really bad because up until a few years ago we had a gorgeous yard, but my mom has gotten health problems and an increase workload so she can't work out in the yard anymore. So I'm taking it over now. Hopefully it won't get like this again ... or worse

My hubby wouldn't stand this for a second. Once we had our new house built, he couldn't wait to start working on his garden!! Well, he truly has green fingers, and made our garden beautiful! Do something about all the trash, plant lots of flowers and bushes, it is worth it!!


Holy cow that's gorgeous

You have the fence, the shade, the SPACE..

Everything I want!
Shade - we have too much of it. Well, not really, but the trees "shed" too much! I must admit, we have a decent sized yard, but for around here it truly is small. I have the smallest yard out of everyone I know. We have one of the smallest yards in the neighborhood. We only live on 1/4 acre but I guess that's a big yard to some people. We wish we had 3-5 acres.
