Time Flies

We've had a flurry of activity around the house, which has kept me really busy outside and away from my computer!! We decided to tackle our backyard finally. It was in desperate need of some help.

Before.


 Out with the old, in with the new.

 There are 3 different levels.

 All the deck work is done...


...now on to landscaping...


We had to sod the entire yard. It was brutal.
It took DH and I all day to do it, but it turned out great!

Between the deck and the fence we planted Jasmine (left) which we will train to climb up the poles and around the trestle. In between the poles we planted bamboo (right) which should grown nicely and provide a pretty backdrop.
