Now before we started construction, the yard, like the home, needed some work. It was overgrown, in desperate need of some Round-Up weed control, a bit of fertilizer, and a lot of pruning and chopping. Round-up people, if, by some miracle, you are reading this blog, feel free to send free samples our way. We need about two truck loads of the stuff.
Two photos of our yard, pre-construction (note the various lawn ornaments left behind by the previous owner):

Yes, these are real photos, of our actual yard. Try not to be jealous. It's pretty lovely. Want to stop by for a picnic?! And as it turns out, you actually have to pay for grass. And it's quite expensive. So we thought we'd just keep it looking like this for a while. Okay maybe not. Grass is on its way. And Round-up. And irrigation.
I'm thinking we should try to get on one of those landscaping turn-around shows. Honestly, could there be a bigger before and after? So, if you have some free time, and want to come help with landscaping projects, let us know! It's totally exciting and thrilling.

are you still contemplating the pool I suggested? I'd come back from NY for special trips to use it!
