In the Beginning...

When we purchased our home in 2006, this is what the back and front yards looked like. I was delighted, but I didn't want the fuss of roses (I'm a daisy-loving girl) and everything was just randomly located. And, the previous owner had used ALOT of chemicals on the yard (it's what he knew). So, while I loved how green, beautiful and private the lot was ~ I had to make some changes.
