What a Mess! 1-11-11

Well, today was a messy day! And there is snow coming which I am sure will just add to all the mess but at least it will look deceptively pretty if we get enough snow (hopefully I will have a photo of THAT tomorrow:)

So today my "photo of the day" is the 110 year old original sewer pipes that were removed from my yard today. Apparently they haven't worked in YEARS anyway. It was fascinating to watch but it was also an incredible mess. The big casualties of the day would be the big azeala bush we had and the front hedgerow. We had talked about updating the hedges to a different kind anyway...so come spring you should see some photos of something new.

Because of the location of the pipe and the work they needed to do they basically tore up 95% of the landscaping on the side and front of the house (of course the one bush that is still in front is this ugly one that we would be happy to lose anyway and will be gone in the spring LOL. I kept watching hoping the guy would move his backhoe thing over just a little bit to nip it but he never did...)

Anyway, here are the pipes:


For fun, here are some highlights from the day:










Let's hope the snow covers it a little:)
