Quite the Project!

Howdy friends! Wow, where has the time gone??? I have neglected my blog for too long. To fill you in, not too much exciting through the beginning part of the year and then May was spent with two back to back business trips to Kansas City, MO and then to Orlando, FL. Yes, Florida was very pretty and I was excited as I have never been. Sadly, I did not get out much to enjoy my surroundings as I was in meetings all day. Sadness.

In other news, I have taken on the task of finishing my backyard. When I purchased my home in October the backyard was not finished but I figured I could easily handle it on my own. Fast forward to spring and boy did I severely underestimate the amount of work this is going to take. I have gotten a few bids and rather than pay the exorbitant amount they want to charge, I have resolved to doing it myself...with the help of Mom and Brother! This my friends is what I am working with...

Oh, and this is not even the worst. We had weed whipped the weeds quite a bit at this point. These pictures also do not show the rocks mixed in nor the receding ground where dirt has run off and slipped between the rock retaining wall on the other side. But, isn't my puppy cute? I should mention I got her in April and she is a cute little handful of crazy!

 



Anyway, I am hoping that I can soon fill you in with pictures of the completed project. Maybe this year, maybe next. Only time will tell!!
