Getting the Yard Ready…

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

So as you remember we’ve been working on the yard.  Our plan is to one day have a backyard that Noby can play in.  Last time we worked on it we filled two Bagster Bags of old wood that was in the corner of the yard.  Well today Ichiro and I were at it again.  This is what the yard looked like when we finished the last time we worked on it….

Today’s plan was to level the back yard out, removing as many rocks as we could, and plant some grass seed.  BUT before we could even think about the backyard we needed to tackle the VERY overgrown front yard.  We have been neglecting the outside for a while now and it was looking pretty ghetto.  We decided to just dig up the flower beds and will start over with some nice fall mums.

After our long day of work…

And the back…

It’s hard to tell but we leveled it out as much as possible…

All the rocks we collected from the yard… (New plan is to see if we can plant bamboo in those cinder blocks.  This should… A.  keep the trash from the apartment building from coming under the fence and B.  Hide the ugly fence.  IF it can be done we will put cinder blocks along the entire back wall.  For now I just put all the rocks we removed from the dirt there.)
