Before and After: Back of the house

I feel like I’m cheating with some of these pictures, especially in the post I just did. The “before” ones were taken in the gray, cloudy mud season and make the “after” shots look practically jungle-like with all the spring green! Not my fault, before pictures, not my fault.
