Slowly but surely our yard is coming along. Conor has made loads of progress!!! A lot of the trenches are dug for the front, sprinkler heads and dripper hose added, etc. Perhaps the most exciting feat was getting pipe run beneath the driveway! Not an easy task. But it was either that or a TON of xeroscaping. But we want grass over there since it's our largest, "flattest" stretch to play on.
I really can't take much credit for the yard. I've sprayed weeds, raked the flower bed to prep for soil, moved rocks, and dug maybe 6 feet of trench. Oh, and I'm currently killing off a massive red ant hill. But Hazel and I fully support Conor in all of his endeavors. Plus, somebody has to make the sandwiches and get drinks!!! : ) We're pretty good eye candy on the front porch and I'm positive this is what fuels the project.

| Front bed all raked and smoothed over. See, I did something!!! |

| While moving rocks all of these lovelies caught my eye. I kept them! Haha! I've always loved collecting interesting rocks. A rock garden somewhere is in order. |
