Landscaping Update -- Take 3 and 4

We just got back from an amazing trip to Arizona for spring break. I have way too many pictures to sift through before I can do a blog, but keep checking...

Meanwhile, we came home from our vacation to see this:
That's right! The edging was done, and the plants and trees were delivered. The patio is also done again, and the sand is working it's way in between the bricks. You can kind of see that in this picture:
Here's the back yard. You can see the flowering cherry tree peaking into the top right corner of the picture (it wasn't planted yet).
The workers spent all day today putting the plants and trees into the beds. I'll do some pictures up closer when they are totally done, but this gives you an idea.
This is the very back of our yard. My favorite part of the landscaping is in the bottom right corner -- this is where the flowering cherry tree was planted, and we will put a bench there to sit on. It will be a pleasant place to relax and watch the kids play or to just look at my beautiful landscaping.
Tomorrow they finish with the beds, then the grass goes in -- yea!!!
(Don't forget to read about our Easter fun in the next post.)

So cool! I love the picture updates. I feel the need to call you every few minutes, just for updates (had you noticed?) Thanks.

I love the look of the updates! can hardly wait to see the finished product. Up close would be best :) but pictures will do.

Lookin good. Please tell me it's an EDIBLE type of cherry tree. (Not the tree itself, but the cherries?) If so, don't worry if you peek out and see someone stealing cherries ...

While you're at it, can you plant some raspberry plants for me?

Here's hoping to them finishing today ...
