Spring has Sprung...




..and that means it is time for the dreaded yard work. When we bought this house last summer the grass in the backyard was up to our waists in some places and was over run with weeds and other plants. We sprayed Round Up on the whole thing and pretty much let winter run its course. Now we are digging in to make it a livable backyard and it is hard work. So here is a little of what we are working on. We are digging out most of the back yard to even it out and get rid off lots of rocks and old wood in the back. We believe at one point it was a very loved yard with lots of gardens with beauty bark and lined with rocks, stepping stones, and cool logs. So hopefully we will be able to update you as it looks better.

Keira got some sidewalk chalk for Easter and finally had a nice day to play with it. We have two cement patios in our back yard and this one is completely filled with beautiful drawings she worked on all day. I am glad we finally have a backyard we can let her play in.
