today, we had a ward cleanup activity. basically, you tell your home teachers if there's something you'd like help with around the yard, and on the appointed day, the entire ward gets together and helps everyone. i had them help me clean out the side flower bed. it was full of grass, thistle, and lilies that didn't have enough room to breathe, old bark, and black plastic. we dug it all up and hauled it away. they kept asking me if i wanted to save the lilies. i decided it wasn't worth the trouble to separate them and put them back in the ground. i tried that with the tiger lilies in the other flower bed; my kids pulled them back up cause "they were dead." someone is going to come back and round-up the grass around the side.
now, by no means is the flower bed ready for planting. i'm going to need to till it again in the spring, and do more round-up. but, it's a start!
