Well, this is the first minute I had for a new post. I had a fantastic Mother's day weekend! My husband and my boys made it really special and I am truly blessed!
We worked really hard on our front yard project and unfortunately encountered some stumbling blocks.
Needless to say we have a long way to go, Phew!!! Here is our vision: (or it least close too :) )

Gotta shoot for the moon right?
And here is our start, modified the deck and bridge a bit,

A family affair, draining the old water feature ( which was beautiful by the way), clearing sod, and preparing to dig.

We started digging ourselves, and quickly realized a backhoe! Rocky soil!! Then my husband made some calls to some friends, and we then were shocked by the price!!! Even from friends! So, the slow digging process will resume tonight, :(
I hope to eventually be able to post an after shot, soon?, maybe? Onward and upward my friends!
