Those of you who follow my other blog know that I have major issues with losing/misplacing things. Most recently, I misplaced the camera at a party, and while it was left alone, the battery apparently staged a revolt (likely upset at being used over and over again), so it left the camera and wandered out into the great unknown. The camera eventually returned to us, but the battery didn't, and I can only assume that it ended up in that great, big battery pasture in the sky. Or else it got carried off by a dog and is now covered in mud somewhere in our friend's yard.
Regardless, because we don't yet have a replacement battery, I can't show you a current picture of our front yard after the plant demolition that occurred over the weekend. We decided to yank out all of the boxwoods and other random bushes that were populating our yard and start with a clean slate. So, right now it looks really funny. Kind of like a big hairy dog looks just after he has been shaved for the summer. Since I don't have a camera, this is the best I can do:
(I know what you are wondering, and no, I actually didn't major in art, as hard as that might be to believe.)
The only living thing in our yard right now, besides the big clump of weeds we call our lawn, is the Japanese Maple that is sitting in a pot, waiting to be planted. Yep, it's barren. I'm sure our neighbors are wondering what in the world we are doing. I'm calling the look "The Minimalist Landscapes at Home."
But, in 10 weeks (or hopefully less than 10 weeks, considering that's how long we have until the actual wedding day), it's gonna be gorgeous. Just wait.
