Yearly Hedge Trimming


One of the beautiful things about this place was the beautiful hedges that ran down both sides of
the house and around the back yard. The only down side to them is that they need to be trimmed each year. It is a big job and takes about 20 to 25 hours of hard work. We have always worked on them as a family and it has been great fun, especially when the girls were home to help. Now it seems that we are blessed with a wonderful home teacher, Jeff Tietjen, who helps us and we are very thankful for him and all those who help. Here are some pictures we took on the day we started the project. We have a couple more days of work to get them all done, but we will get them done soon.
