Last week, I started working full time on a new production. Woo!!, but full time in the movie business means 8-16+ hour days. I've been averaging 13 hours a day, 5 days a week which leaves little to talk about and even less time to post. Most of my activities happen on weekends, so I'll try to put in extra effort to get something on here. 

I spend most of my free time on weekends trying to get my yard into shape.  It has already come a long way from when I moved in two years ago.

In the image above, the top picture is from when I moved in.  The paver stone area consisted of a line of pebbles, which were cute, but really not functional. The bushes and knock-out roses were overgrown, and that horrible monkey grass lined the walkway. 

The bottom image shows how much it has been cleaned up.. I removed the pebble path and added a layer of paver stones and trimmed the bushes and rose bush. 

Speaking of paver stones, I realized that one layer wasn't exactly cutting it.  The pine straw mulch spilled out over the pavers. Recently, I worked on a small flower bed near my garage and added a second layer of paver stones.

I continued the paver path down the front of the house, but ran out.  you can see the gaps towards the end of the row in the picture on the right. I'll post a full picture once the project is completed.
