For the past week I have been tackling yard work. We live “in the woods” so the trees in the “yard” sometimes forget they are not part of the woods and if left alone for any length of time (five minutes or so?) this whole jungle thing happens. I encountered thorny vines the size of small branches, monster sized ants (hubby says they are bull ants and don’t bite, but I can’t stand ants of any sort and those things looked scary), and honestly would not have been at all surprised to see monkeys swinging about – that’s how “jungle-like” it seemed to me at the beginning of this process. It being each tree or grouping of trees. I’ve done at least half a dozen, but lost count. I didn’t get actual before pictures, but I did go deeper on our property (out of the “yard” area, lol) and got a pic that is a pretty good resemblance of what the “before” looked like. I also took a pic of one of the “afters” (they are all basically the same). And of course a pic of a huge thorny vine!
“Before” Example:
After (one of them!)
And one of those small-branch-sized thorny vines:
Great job! I hate doing yard work. I just wish that the pretty plants and flowers would magicly take care of themselves!
wow, what a lot of work you’ve done. good job.
