Things under the ivy

As you all may be aware, I've embarked on a project to clear out my backyard. There is (was) thick ivy all over the backyard, rendering the space useless and serving as a breeding ground for mosquitoes. I forgot to take a before picture, but this first one is the other side of the yard (still untouched). The side I cleared had 5 random shrubs that I took out. The second and third are the cleared photos, albeit still with a huge pile of waste. The last one are some of the things found deep in the ivy. The owners BEFORE the owners we bought the house from had a dog. I also uncovered two stumps that need to come out. I'm wondering what else lies beneath. With over half the backyard to go, I'm hoping not to find any body parts.









The items from left to right: Caution tape, fuzzy die, part of a rubber kickball, an odd squeeze toy.

Big Ol' Pile Of...

Mulch!!!!

Pons Flowers

After last week's rain all the floating plants in my pond started putting out these awesome flowers. I have no idea what they are called but they bloomed in about 24 hours and obviously like rain.

Hallelujah!

Its raining.

Update from India

We've seen some pretty cool plants/trees/flowers since we've been over here. Some of the flowers look similar to what's back in the States but of different varieties (i.e. small hibiscus flowers on smaller bushes).
