All about the Backyard

This was the state of our backyard before we left for vacation. We finished tearing out the old grass, turned soil and rolled it flat. We spread seed and left our lawn to be watered daily by my loving sister. (Thanks sister!)
Our garden was also looking a little small when we left. (Below is a picture of our garden as well as the new water spout Sam placed.)

When we returned we were pleasantly surprised that everything was green and growing! (Did I say thank you, sister???)








Check out how nice it is looking now..

Today we also got some help from my parents to get the last gross tree (the one that also happens to be planted and growing right next to the house) cut down.
Okay, so maybe we just all cheered Sam on while he did it. But it was very helpful to have some advice and help knowing where to make the cuts. (Thanks Dad for the chainsaw too!)

So much better!
