a new yard

First off, here is Matt and his Dad cutting some of the patio stone. As you can see, Matt thinks he is SO tough doing this. It's pretty hot.


Here is the top soil in our driveway.


Soil progress in backyard.


Sod progress in 90 degree weather. Poor guys!



A goldfinch at my feeder. I love him.


A lemon on my new lemon tree.


New lemon tree.


Finished backyard!!






The difference between dry and wet on the patio.


The plants I potted today.


More yard. We put extra sod on the hillside because we had a lot of leftovers. I intend on planting a bunch of bushes in the midst of the grass eventually.

The patio just needs to have the edges cemented in now.

Woah! It looks awesome. Love it!
We have a goldfinch too. Bird watching must run in the family. Before the Chris' fam I had never seen anyone get excited about birds. :) Now I am a fan too!
