We finally got around to redoing the area in front of our apartment. There used to be two - 20 ft tall everygreens but they starting leaning over so much that it was a liability for the condo. So they were cut down without any warning. Here's the original evergreens, which apparently were not supposed to grow up more than 8 or 10 ft when they were planted 15 years ago. We actually purchased the same species for the replant, Cypress evergreen, and it said that they could grow up to 100ft:
Here's some images of what it looked like for 2 months, ugh:
Here's what it looked like after half a day of work and $350 worth of mulch, soil, evergreens, knock-out roses, and perennials. We still need to remove the stumps. Tada!

Brooklyn Cherry Blossoms
Today we went to see the Cherry Blossoms at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. We went four years ago and it was great, but for the past three years we always seem to miss them for one reason or another. Today worked out great and we even remembered to bring the camera. Afterwards we went to Union Hall and had some good beer. One was Left Hand Stout which was light colored and not too bitter. The other was the Victory Stout which had a nice coffee flavor.

First Entry
This is the first entry of our first joint blog. Hopefully it will serve as a way to keep track of all of the excitement in our lives and lack thereof. Also it serves as a fantastic means of procrastinating.
