Our new yard in Sutton has little to be desired, at this point. The previous owner let things go, to say the least. The positive side to this is that I have a new project and can pretty much start from scratch. I have lots of big plans in my mind, however it is a much different story to actually find the right people in town to make my big plans a realization. We did find a guy to take out four big trees and lots of little stragglers a few weeks ago and boy did that make a world of difference. Nathan said he hardly recognized the house. We also were able to find a guy to grind out the old stumps. This process was quite interesting to watch and much to my surprise only took a matter of minutes. The stumps are gone, whoot, but the yard now looks like a mine field. Now to find someone to level everything back out. At least we are making some visible progress!
Despite the negatives, there are a few select flowers that are very beautiful and I plan to keep them. However, they may need to be thinned out and/or moved from some pretty random places. One of these select flowers is the poppy. There are tons of them and they take over a big chunk of the front yard. Nathan has tried several chemical methods to kill them off, but they keep coming back each spring. A few weeks ago they were blooming and looked great for about three days. If it were not for their nasty, ugly stems and leaves I would consider keeping them. Jentry loved them and called them her flowers because they were a gorgeous shade of dark orange, which is still her favorite color.
