The Great Outdoors...


I'm always a little frightened when one of these arrives in my driveway...






It took an entire day to remove all the deer-eaten greenery from the yard. I woke up very early and found that the shrub fairy marked all the doomed evergreens orange. After my first cup of coffee I took another peek outside and the work had begun...












We're going to wait awhile before planting anything new. I was thinking those aluminum Christmas trees would work nicely. There are some "deer resistant" shrubs available but somehow I think our Chicago deer would have a good laugh while chewing on those.


Remember that lovely mess we tried to ignore?...




 It's gone!!




I'm just hoping all that beautiful mulch doesn't blow away...it is a windy city!




On another note...


I am no longer a blonde. I needed a change too.
No picture yet...
