Our yard

For not having a lawn to mow, we sure have spent a lot of time in the yard this spring and summer.  It feels good to have gotten so much done.  We showed you a little bit of progress here.

I thought I would take a stroll down memory lane and show you what it looked like last fall :)  
By the way, we celebrated one year in the house last weekend.  What a whirlwind!



We hired a 'yard man' to help us vision the space.  The backyard looks amazing, in particular.  Very nicely cleaned up.  And don't worry, we had our hands in the mix working hard as well, not just the yard man.

Compare the above pics to the below and you'll see what I mean!



Here is what it looked like mid-summer, if you remember when my friend Natalia was in town.  Pretty, yes, but out of control.



A few more out of control pics:



And the finished result: did you know that we had a fountain under all that mess?  




By next year, the deck will be cleaned and the pergola will be stained.  So many projects, so little time. :)
