Yard work

Well, the time has come for use to redo our yard. It has been slowing dying in the back for the last few years, every year we work on it and it looks pretty good by the end of summer but we have lots of problems with it. This year we decided to just start over. We have been working for the last month to get ready to plant new grass.  So far we have dug up the sprinklers, tilled up the yard and hauled out more dirt and rocks then you can even imagine. The kids have been great to help and we are finally seeing some progress.  Now if we could just be home on the nice days, we might get more done. We were able to get our new swing set put up on Friday even though it was about 38 degrees outside and the wind was blowing as usual. The kids got home from school and went right outside to play on it. I thought it was way too cold but they had a great time.  You are all invited to come and try out the slide, it is the fastest one ever!!! Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what we have been doing, keep in mind, we still have to put in new sprinklers, bring in a lot of top soil and put up retaining walls were our garden, swing set and pool will go. Someday soon I will post the finished product!!! (OK it will most likely be sometime in September, but that is soon to us!)
