More Shower Preparations

I finally broke down and hired some people to come in and do my gardens for me.  There was no way that I was going to have them looking the way I wanted before the shower.  The lady I hired, Jackie Cooney, was recommended to me by Dawn's mother in law who had hired her and her crew and was very pleased.  I am thrilled with how my gardens look now.  It was pricey but you get what you pay for and Jackie and her crew of 5 worked their butts off for 2 days.  Jackie will be back on Thursday to make sure that all is perfect for the shower and there are a few more things that Frank and I have to do around the Gazebo but I think you will agree that we are pretty much there.  Be forewarned there are a lot of pics.  I have a lot of gardens hence the inability unwillingness to do this project by myself.

We still have work to do around the gazebo.

We removed a lot of shrubbery and have scattered grass seed.
