One thing leads to another

The other night I recruited Fred Schmidt and his chain saw.
Got got rid of the laurel bush by the front door with the intension of replacing it with a bleeding heart.
Just thought I'd like a little flowering color there instead.
Well, as usual, one thing leads to another.The ivy, which was all over the front window and above the door came down too. Guess it was so gradual I didn't think to take a before picture but for those of us who remember what it looked like before here's our NAKED house now!

okay, two days later...fully clothed
