These pictures are mainly for Emily's enjoyment. We did a little yard work in preparation for Gillian's wedding. You may or may not know what bad shape the yard was in prior to said preparations but here is the finished product, at least for the wedding. We are forever grateful that she asked to use the yard. It was the kick in the pants we have been looking for. Thanks again Gillian and Patti.


The picture below shows two new pieces of yard art we reclaimed from the Land of Desolation. Jethro designed these in one of his art/welding classes. The picture doesn't do them justice, you'll have to come and see them to appreciate how awesome they are. We thought they fit right in with the fresno...
Bus took out an extra pine tree that was languishing in this forest. It opened up the forest and made it look much better.
We had two bean plants sprout out of the whole package. Probably won't be needing to put up too many beans this year. We do have quite a few tomatoes though and the carrots came up pretty thickly. The peas have been tasty. Our yard looks quite a bit larger without the fence doesn't it? Luckily we have nice neighbors.
Ben Francisco really worked hard a couple of days cleaning up the Land of Desolation. He moved the wood stack (I KNOW) and the canoe, he rototilled the grass in, he moved bricks and brick pieces, he was wonderful.
Bus finally got his shed finished yesterday too. It looks great. John and Dorothy also came and helped a lot. Dorothy and Phil weeded our garden and the front parking space. John helped clean up the Land of Desolation with Ben. Bus and Ben hauled at least one truck load to the dump and then another truckload to the metal recyclers. We really appreciate all the hard work.
