Two years in Teaneck

Our second anniversary in Teaneck is less than 2 months away. We have put in a lot of work into improving the house both inside (new electrical panel, heater & boiler, washing machine & dryer and more recently, automatic garage door) and out or in other words, aesthetically.

Adrian, in particular, worked really hard to get our garden and yard in shape for summer. Here's a few shots of before and after.

BEFORE

September 2009
Over-grown shrubs, un-kept hydrangeas, weeds and creepers - all great for hiding creepy crawlies and intruders waiting to pounce on you as you enter your home

AFTER

July 2011
New grass thanks to Adrian's constant de-weeding, sowing of new grass seeds
and endless top -soiling

Wishing well with over-grown ivy

AFTER

July 2011
Wishing well - all cleaned up. In the process, we also got rid of the mole family which burrowed holes in our garden. Less place for them to hide these days!

Coming up...another garden project done!
