Other changes taking place around our house

When we first looked at our house, we didn't care much for a yard. Less maintenance right? Well, now that we've lived here for a bit, we still don't care much for a high maintenance yard or anything, but the cement EVERYWHERE is just not quite cutting it. We thought it would be nice to have SOMETHING other then cement....so, Ian decided to start a little (BIG) project.
Thanks to our dads and their help (and equipment) our yard is coming along nicely and they(Ian and our dad's) have been able to do a little of this:


Re-arranging some HUGE rocks to form a new rock wall (one that will keep the neighbors dogs away! :))Filling it in and leveling with some dirt. I didn't get any "Before" pictures, but right after our patio, there was a vinyl fence, and then it dropped down into a hill.


Almost done! The first and second tiers will have grass, the bottom one will be home to a car or the water toys.

Yay---another patch of grass!

And one last thing...just as a reminder to mother nature---it is May 24th, and remember it usually is sunny and warm this time of year? NOT SNOWING!!!
