Landscaping Update, Take 2

(Once again I've done several posts at the same time; make sure you read them all!)

We finally had another break in the weather so the workers could move forward with the landscaping. The funny thing is that the patio picture actually looks like they took a step backwards (since the patio was all done in the previous picture), but this time everything is getting put in correctly... Here's a view from the back. They got the dirt all spread and ready for the edging guy to come do his thing. You can also see the planter boxes Lee built for us right up close to the house. Don't you love our pile of litter in the bottom of the picture? I've requested that everything other than the rocks be hauled to the dump. And many of the rocks will be used by friends and neighbors (Denise has first dibs), so hopefully it won't look like a dumping ground when we're done.

Here is a new picture for you. I wanted to show you these ugly utility boxes they stick in front of houses here in Spanish Fork. This is looking down off our front porch. This corner should look much nicer in a week or so!Here is the front of the house. The next step is for the edging to be put in, then they can fix the beds with plants, flowers and trees. I think the sod is last. You can tell that it is raining again, though, so it'll be into next week before they get back here. They are hoping to get it done next week, which would be great. We're heading to Tucson to see Lee's dad and step-mom for our Spring Break, and I'd love to come home to a beautiful yard! You realize if this happens, however, there won't be anymore "work in progress" pictures. Keep your fingers crossed...

We went to an Easter Egg Hunt this morning (watch for pictures in the next few days), and I got this sign. Doesn't it look so cute and inviting next to all the crud laying around?! (Brynne has been very concerned about trash the workers leave behind. I told her it would all be cleaned up and look beautiful in the end!)

Happy Easter everyone!
