Keeping Up with the Joneses

Our yard was a hot mess when we moved in.

With a defunked pond with a one winged fairy in it.

Our house has had two prior owners, the original ones, and then the Sellers we bought from.

The Classy Sellers.

Some neighbors told us about the yard and how Maud loved gardening.

Maud's husband Ray was a painter which explains the awesome studio space.

(may or may not be why T-Dubs had to have this house)

Maud and Ray moved to their children 6-8 years ago.

The Classy Sellers, did not do yard work.

And neglected their older dog, and basically left him alone all the time in the yard.

this is all from our wonderful neighbors the Jones. 

They are wonderful, and the greatest part is the Classy Sellers set the bar SUPER low.

Basically anything we do will be 100% better!

Mrs. Jones just was full of compliments when we got done on Sunday.

yesssssss!

Now I just have to keep everything alive until they come visit again.

EEK!

Now that i look at the pictures, it doesn't do it justice.

Also we laid a little more brick on the front step, there way like a 2 foot area of grass. um no.

I promise I'll get better at Before and After pictures.
