Memorial Day Project

You KNOW you have good friends when you decide to do a backyard project and they jump right in and don't think twice about it. (Truth be told, it was both Eric and Ford who told Chris they wanted to start working on our back yard... it's very bare).

So my job was to stain the wood (Chris and I dis this before the guys came over) -- AND to keep the beverages coming.


They worked non-stop from about 11:30 until 7:00 or so. Our back yard is starting to have character! Here it is before:





Fabulous grass, but that's really it. And now, we have three beautifully crafted beds, with hearty (and heat tolerant) plants. The best part? Ford added lights, so at night - it looks absolutely amazing. Wanna see?









We need to stain the fence to match ... and then the pergola is next. LOVE it!!
