Backyard Makeover

As you can see, we've been working hard on the backyard. The pictures are in reverse order showing the finished product first. Oh well. We tilled the dirt, trenched, put in sprinkler piping, tilled again, set up the sprinklers, and finally seeded! The crazy downpours of rain derailed our project on multiple occasions this summer. But just look at the progress! Ethan "helped" when he could, supervised a lot, and enjoyed playing in the mud when we'd let him. Thank goodness we now have an automatic sprinkler system AND grass. The grass still has a ways to go and we still have some clean up to do and a pergola to build over the patio. Now we can't wait until next spring and summer to actually walk on the grass and enjoy our backyard!
