It only looks like that 3 months out of the year:-( We bust our butts all late Spring and Summer cleaning and planting and grooming. We are now house poor for sure..haha. My in laws live next door 8 months out of the year-but I love them and wouldnt have it any other way. The previous owners ripped us off and decieved us really bad and it wasn't seen until 3-4 months into the house. The whole roof-leaked in every room-every ceiling had to be ripped down and replaced-the stainless steal appliances looked fabulous-but the large microwave broke a few days after we bought it-the dishwasher needed serious repairs and still sucks...They lied about everything-all in all it cost us another 50 grand to fix it to be able to live in it through the winter. Not only that- they were" landscapers" so all garbage they took from properties were dumped on our property. We didnt see it because of summer growth-then late Fall came and the leaves fell from the trees. You know what was visible? 100's of tires, tons of useless garbage half buried, tons of broken pot's and plant holders now when I saw tons I mean 100's of BROKEN clay pots and such. I mean its been 3 years and we are still digging things up and properly disposing of it. Tons of metal garbage etc.. It makes me want to cry -the dump costs 5$ a tire. So everytime we go to the dump we throw a tire or two on the pile to try and get rid of them...I cant wait for the greenery to cover what we couldnt finish last fall!! LOL...We figure it will take 10 yrs total to have the house to the way we thought we were originally getting it.

We are knee deep in mud! The only thing thats enjoying that is the duck! forget keeping the entryway clean..good grief...We have 3 driveways and can't use the main one every Spring because it literally gets under 1 ft of water. We have to wait about 3-4 weeks for it to drain and dry before we attempt to drive on it without ripping up and creating rutts! I love greenery!
