Great Expectations

Last week I confronted my back flower beds. Holy yikes!! In the Fall I wasn't sure how far to chop down my plants so I decided to just wait until Spring. Well, the plants are much bigger now and they were completely hidden under colossal heaps of deadness.
So nasty. Miss Havisham's wedding cake could be hidden under there!!

I'm not even going to tell you how long it took me to trim and weed this much. The good news, however, is that there really are cute little Spring plants growing under all that mess. Hooray for Spring (and for my new electric hedge trimmer)!
