    Lawns - lots of pictures

    First set of pictures of the first lawn I cut on Mondays,the first two were taken on June 10th,when I did her hedge and pruned a Blue Spruce,third one was when I walked Heidi on June 11th,the rest of these are pictures of the front of the house and the flowers,after I cut it on Monday plus the hedge on the South side of the Spruce I pruned.She(Phyllis McRobbie) had done a little hedge clipping herself cleaned out weeds where the Hedge was growing and taking out dead branches in the Hedge.She likes to get out and work in the garden,she is 93,94 in November,she had a little rest while I was there on Friday.She even went to Subway and got us each a a Sub and a Diet Coke,had half the sub then the rest later.I think she is in one of the first three pictures.

    That is really a pretty yard with the flowering bushes & the geranium plants. The lady is 93 years old & still out there gardening. I say good for her she has a green thumb for sure. Your trimming things up really makes it look even nicer.

    Our Lawn(The Macklin's)

    Here are pictures of our lawn I did yesterday and the Snapdragons on the South side of the house.For anyone her that doesn't know me ,I am Barry Macklin and I live here with my Mom Betty,she is 81 and our 10 Month old Shih Tzu Heidi.My Dad Clifford passed away from ALS in March of 2007,we had a Bichon Frise name of Fritz,he had tot be put down on September 29th of last year 19 days after I turned 50,had Diabetes,Kidney failure and possibly Cancer,really miss him,we got Heidi on October 10,a real joy to have around.I keep the grass looking nice and trimmed,do the flowerbeds,keeps weeds out of it. I spent most of Wednesday cleaning weeds from our back patio the North side of the house and the front sidewalk,the only thing I can't do is prune the Maple tree,too high and I am afraid of heights.

    It looks like a fairly young variegated maple tree in one of the pictures.

    You do great work & the houses with the flowers & neatly clipped lawns look so inviting especially after the long winter & now the flowers & bushes are blooming.
