Yard Progress

While I was away in San Diego my amazing hubby was hard at work.  He not only worked his 40 hours at his job, but he totally worked his bum off in our yard.  We've been in our house for about 2 1/2 years and have never really done a ton to improve the yard.  So this year we(and by we, I mean Peter!) decided to take on the project.  I thought it'd be fun to show a few before and after pictures.

Here's some of the before:

And here's some of the after:

He used a bunch of products to kill weeds in our yard.  He trimmed out of control bushes.  He weeded and dug up the top layer of soil pretty much everywhere.  He then had to load up all that dirt and get rid of it (soooo glad I was not here for this part, ha!).  He then ordered mulch and had to spread it in all the different areas of the yard.  He also planted some flowers in the backyard up against the house, and planted a garden.  He worked SO.STINKIN.HARD.  It was awesome to see his hard work really pay off.

There's a few more little things to do, but it's mostly finished and we're looking forward to spending a lot more time outside this summer!  Thanks again hubby, you're amazing.
