Yard of Dreams

We bought this house because it had "projects to keep us busy" as Chase said. The yard was included in these "projects."

This will be our third summer here and this last weekend the backyard actually felt like a yard instead of a barren wasteland of rocks and weeds! Granted there are still a ton of rocks out there, the dirt here seems to be more rock than dirt, but still!

Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. I think the hazy glow was from the bright sunshine looking down on all our hard work. :)

Still have a long way to go... we have plans for to expand the back patio to include a pergola and bench swing, finish the garden with more boxes and pathways, lay a brick path and fire-pit along the back of the garden and mulch the back easement. But hey, this is a far cry from where we started from! :)

And this was AFTER we hacked down the 3 foot tall weeds!
