Busy Weekend

There is something so satisfying about cleaning up and organizing. We cleaned out the garage this weekend and I also cleaned out one of our areas of landscaping in the backyard that we had to pull a dead plant out of last fall. The dirt was a mess, the stepping stones were not level and the water fountain desperately needed to be cleaned. It was a very messy job but as with all cleaning jobs was very rewarding to see it done. I have a huge clematis bush around that landscaping area and I can't seem to figure out how to prune the thing. It looks progressively worse every year with the previous years growth still on it but I am terrified I am going to kill the beautiful thing. I am going to have to give in and go to Zamzows with a picture of the thing and see if they can help.
