An update! Hooray!

Whew, finally another post.  I've been busy doing yard work now that the rain has stopped, and trying to take pics, but I'm realizing I didn't take a lot of 'before' pics, so some of the 'afters' might not be as impressive to you all, but hey, I'll show them off anyway :-)
the house when we bought it. (Notice the shrubbery)
       
 
the house now :-).  Wow, the grass actually looks really green here.  Obviously its rained a bit this spring.
we're even adding a path, so it's easier to climb up and down.  the neighbor kids use it all the time as a shortcut.
on the left side, there are terraces.  the weeds were so overgrown that you couldn't even see them.  the neighbors behind us had no idea they were there.

Yay!  only one more fence post to go on the rocks!  I had to stop, because we're putting in one more terrace, so I wanted to make sure to leave room for us to work.
Our rocks. and the yard light.


 Our other project this year, is a garden.  Actually, it's Bryan and Brittany's garden; however, as soon as they planted the dang thing they both took off on holiday, so I'm the one left in charge, and they told me 'try not to kill anything ok?'  I'll certainly be glad when Bryan gets home to take over.
Brittany and Bryan preparing the garden  As you can see, we've still got one more row of rocks to go above the garden.
Britt taking care of the garden.  the day she left on vacation.


as of today - not too bad, eh?

carrots on the mid left; peas (with peas now  - they showed up in the last two days; and on the right - corn.

Radishes!  I could see a couple of tops of radishes poking out of the ground, so I picked them!  Not sure if they're ready yet. - BUT I haven't killed anything yet :-)

It looks so good, and I love the before and after pics. I am glad you didn't kill anything.
