Yard Work

So now that is it starting to get nice outside, it is time

to start working on the yard and trying to get it under

control.

Here is Nathan trimming up a few of the bushes

in the front of our house.

Look at what a mess we are creating, but

at least the bushes will look nice and pretty

once we get them cut back to where they 

should be...

Here I am helping to trim the shrubs..

Nathan is testing the sprinkler system so we can

start watering our grass.  :)

Here is a picture of the front of our house...

Once we finished on the bushes, we decided it 

was time to move to the backyard.  I decided

that I wanted to try my hand at a raised garden.  

Here is my picture of trying to start the raised garden.

And just a few random pictures taken of the back yard.

My parents came down to visit and to do the

Idaho's Largest Yard Sale (you can see about 

that in my other post), so while they were down here

they decided to help us work on the back yard

before they headed home.

Here they are helping to level my raised garden

and Dad is helping to bring fill dirt to put around...

Discussing the best place to put everything..

In the middle of this I planted Blueberry plants

and then around the edges I rotated

Marigolds and Purple/White Petunias.

Here are my Tomato Plants...

And I thought you might like to see a few

pictures of the backyard now that we

have been working on it for a couple

weeks....

And of course, we had to take a break to just

enjoy the sunshine...

The final product after a couple hours of work...

Mom and Dad are now relaxing and enjoying

all of the hard work they did before they head home..

Thank you to Mom and Dad for helping us get the

raised garden planted and leveled.
