Here's some before and afters from his hard work!
I shall call him Cocoa, and he will join the street cats along with Marmalade and Butters.
If anyone wants a cat...ours is the street to find one!
So remember when I was so happy to finally get my garden all neat and tidy and pretty, you know, the way it looks in this picture way back in June: Well with travelling a lot in the summer, and teaching summer school, and then eventually just not wanting to fight with it led to the revolt of the weeds. The hot sun killed everything living first, and then for some reason the weeds thrived and started to take over our entire front yard. As of last weekend, I was waiting until dark to open the front door and get the mail...I was that embarrassed. I read an article recently about how bad front yards (along with crazy neighbours) led to poor house sales and bad showings. This makes sense, but then I started to think that the neighbours were also going to revolt against us so something had to be done. The problem was I had no idea where to start. There were so many weeds and I just couldn't imaging pulling them all out. Well, as usual, my husband came to the rescue. So while I cleaned inside and prepped for school on my Labour Day, Matt tackled the evil front yard. Here's some before and afters from his hard work! Wow, that was a lot of weed pulling - it was half our garden! He also pulled out one of my hastas...it was NOT a weed... Now my herbs don't look like the weeds... Tamed the Adam's needles and the succulents until next year. Had to say goodbye to my hydrangeas too - just bought them and they were totally fried...*sigh* Wow...what a difference. At least a few of my petunias survived! Hot, sweaty, covered in dirt, but proud Oh yeah, and this little cat came to play too!
