Backyard Transformation

Some of you may remember when our backyard looked like a wild weed field. Well, we are happy to announce that those days are long-forgotten history. This Memorial Day weekend concluded the long home improvement project and we are sure pleased with the results!

Mr. Wagner deserves the kudos (and could use a new tube of Bengay). The past couple of summers he spent countless hours hauling in load after load of dirt and gravel, extending our patio and adding a sidewalk, putting in an irrigation and drainage system, laying sod (and maintaining it diligently to challenge the best of golf courses), building a large raised flower bed and two redwood garden boxes.

Yours Truly consulted on the landscape design but mostly had the easy job of babysitting (the Little Miss and I have enjoyed a lot of girl time and fun outings). This weekend we spent a small fortune on the plants and all finished the yard together. We are really happy with the outcome! Now, Yours Truly needs prayer for a green thumb...

That looks really nice! It is amazing how fast a few plants add up on the money scale.
