Damn weeds...

I don't think I can properly describe to you how overrun by weeds my backyard had become.  It was embarrassing and downright out-of-control.  I finally decided that this would be the weekend to tackle the project...by hiring some guys to come and pick them for me!  ha!  

My good friend Brian, always willing to make an extra dollar (or dime, more like it), came over and with the help of Anna and myself, we went to TOWN on those things. 5+ hours later (plus 3+ hours on my own on Sunday to  pick through the front yard), my outdoor space is FINALLY livable again! We celebrated over an amazing Korean meal!

This was already 3 hours in...check out those piles of weeds (it was literally 10 times worse when we started:




And here's the "after" shot...the sun is already starting to set...long day:




When all was said and done, 16 garbage bags filled with weeds from the backyard and 2 from the front yard:




I am so sore...but my house is ready for some warm-weather bbq'ing!  Come on over...
