Before & After Jo's 4k Spring Concert

Yesterday was an event-filled day.
At 7:30am a crew of dump trucks and diggers arrived to take down the cracked, falling and unsightly concrete retaining walls in front of our house.
See "Before Pictures" below:







Then, GG, G&GM, Pop Pop, Auntie Leah, Matt, Cokes and myself met at Jo's school for her Spring "Music & Muffins" show. Watch Jo in action below:



And by 2pm, the work crew had taken down the walls, steps and walkway to the front door, hauled all the debris away, created a more manageable slope, and swept the driveway clean. I can't even begin to tell you what a dramatic difference it has made:









Tuesday a Tree Guy is coming to remove several problem trees (including the two large trees in the photos above.) We'll be making up a plan of tiered flower beds, new steps and walkway to the front door with the help of a local landscape architect. I'm happy to report that my free time will be spent paging through perennial catalogs.
