Decisions, Decisions

Monday, October 10th, 2011 by 

A few months ago I wrote about the beginning of our house remodeling/addition project. Things are on track for the most part. We realized from the beginning that harvest would hit and we would still be in the middle of our mess. What we didn’t realize was the amount of decision making that goes into home projects.

Prune and control seems to sum up the yard agenda for summer. Most everything for the flowerbeds and landscape has now been planted.
