Yard work!

My mother and sister came out last week(end) to help out with some yard work as both my wife & sister had the week off from work. The ivy in the front yard is now gone and the pachysandra is on its way, and we'll likely replace with sod instead of trying to grow fresh grass. We've also started planning out some flowerbeds and my mother helped identify a lot of the vegetation we have. Quite a few herbs, 2 dozen Bleeding Hearts, lots of Hosta varieties, and plenty more. I think she's a little envious and wants to take some of what we have. There's some wild stuff out there in the ground.

Still plenty to do, like marking off the flower beds and mulching. That'll make a big impact in the appearance.
