A Yard, A Yard

We new when we bought our house there was a lot of work ahead of us. Conor cleared brush and rocks out front last fall. Now that it's late spring, we decided we should do something with our rock piles since the dirtscape wasn't winning any awards. I put roundup on the entire yard once again. Amazing how resilient noxious weeds and plants can be. We have a little issue with puncture thorns, too. Maybe an understatement . . . . .

Conor's digging skills won him a place in a tight, deep hole to hook up our sprinkler system. It was widened later so he could work down there to get to the water. He looks happy, wouldn't you say? : )

Hazel and I took a trip to the local nursery to find plants, flowers, trees, etc. that may work for the yard. It was amazing seeing all the varieties! First trip of many I am sure. More posts and pics to come as we progress on our yard projects.
