Beach house work day

One of my first summer duties was some garden cleanup at the coast.

When I was a kid, my grandparents built a house at Oceanside. They've been extremely generous in letting us visit, and the home has provided decades of respite.

This year, grasses got the best of the garden beds, so Mom, Eryn, and I made a trip to help out.

The before: 

Six hours later, the after:


We ran out of time to complete the south side, but we did pull the seed heads to keep the grasses from spreading:
Construction workers have been shoring up the under side of the house, and when they saw us toiling away in the yard, they brought over a dump trailer for us to fill! With the added space, we were also able to do a bunch of trimming.
Looking forward to going back and finishing the job :)
