Ramping Up

Well, we got back from vacation and our yard work has definitely begun.  I hurt in places that haven't hurt for such a long time but our yard is starting to look so good. 

Beginning

 

Week Two

 

Now

Bill had the brilliant idea that the dirt we dug up would be the base of the raised flower bed in the back yard.  That way we don't have to spend very much on top soil.  I'm happy that he even thought about it.  I definitely wasn't.  My mind didn't go to the "where do we put the dirt" part.  

More pictures will follow of course.  We have 7 weeks before Bill's fathers surprise party and that's the goal that we are hoping to reach for our yard to look presentable and nice.
