I went down south last weekend to do some clean up.  I managed to clear the back fence line of the ivy behind the house.  The fence lin behind the garage still needs to be cleaned up but I did remove some limbs that had come down from the last storm that went through.  Unfortuantely, the ivy had taken over the trees to the point of killing them.   I posted some pictures showing the cleaned up back fence line as well as some showing just how tall the grass had become.  Check them out.
