We have a few little projects going on already this year...adding better drainage out front, reinforcing the cellar wall, clearing the downed trees from the storm...and removing the pachysandra. I had mixed feelings about that last part. On one hand, it's great ground cover, green and weed free. But it's a rather persistent non-native that takes over everything. And the thick coverage was bringing snakes and mice far too close for our liking. So it's gone, at least on one side of the house. I'm looking forward to less dashing by, quick as possible, any time we walked by this area in spring and summer.
Another tough choice was the tree out front. We've known for a long time that it needed to go. On a positive note, it makes things much safer (even a healthy tree would have been questionable so close to the house) and brighter. Now we really need to clean the windows...
