Just getting started....

Okay! This is my first blog--I know, I know, Spring keeps tellin' me to get on the bus. We started working on redoing our backyard about 3 years ago.....it has finally come to completion!(okay-its never gonna be completely complete--we keep adding more and more plants) nevertheless, it is sooo beautiful, I never want to leave my yard...here are some photos from most recent..2-09 to starting out 2-06

The empty lot we lived with for a few months until we filled it in with enriched, composted, miracle soil! ( thanks Tom!)

Too fun!-a little dangerous too.








Destruction!
