Dreaded Yard Work

When we moved into our new house in January we had never actually seen our yard due to the rediculous amount of snow we got this year. As the snow starting melting, I got more and more nervous about what we would find under all that snow. What we ended up finding was a thick layer of dead leaves. Our yard has a bunch of trees and one really big tree in the front yard. Well no one had raked up the leaves last fall so they were all there waiting for us.

Here is the result of several hours of hard work on Gus' part. Just the front yard resulted in 25 trash bags full of leaves. Our yard slopes and has a ton of rock retaining walls...its going to be a lot of work, but has a ton of potential.
