Spring Activities

One of the things we had to get done this spring was put in a lawn. When we bought the house it had been abandoned for about a year (it was a foreclosure) and the landscaping no longer existed. The lawn was dead and the plants had reverted to their natural state... that is, wildly overgrown.

We started getting notices of non-compliance from the convenant nazi about a month after having moved in. sigh.

So we took it from this:









To this:










We hope to get some neat, compact bushes for the graveled area and then pull out the rounded bush in the background... eventually. It's really hot here and hard to stay out in the sun for too long.

And then there's the back yard. sigh.
