My front yard looks great! I just spent 2+ hours out there. I pulled all the weeds from the bed of iceplant. I stopped the jasmine's plot to take over the world, starting with my front door. I trimmed the hedge. I mowed and weedwacked the grass, not that it really needed it. The lawn is still deciding whether to forgive me (for not watering it for a month) or die. I thatched (a fancy term for raked) the dead spots and re-seeded the whole darn thing. I swept the patio and sidewalk. And finally, I watered. I am exhausted, but no longer embarassed to have people walk past on the sidewalk. So come on by!!
