Here are a couple of "before shots"

Extra dramatic because of the newly fallen snow today:  photography credit goes to Avery, because she wanted to go out in the snow, and I didn't.

You will notice a lot of Uncle Art's belongings "strategically" placed throughout the yard...I am hoping he's going to be okay with me organizing them a little.  We are going to bring some more garden boxes in, and also plant in the yard in general...I will take front of the house shots soon.
