As promised, below are pictures of the latest going-ons in the yard. Spent last Saturday laying sod (beautiful day for it) and planting a variegated maple. Everything is coming along nicely and we hope to start building the deck next week! Moving right along!
Plan to purchase some primidellas to plant along the west side of the yard, then we'll wait for the deck to be built before adding the flagstone path and additional shrubs...we'll be sure to update you along the way.
In other news, Happy Birthday to my amazing Dad. 65 years young! Sorry Dad, I've gotta keep this blog accurate; it's my journalistic duty ;) And congratulations to Prince William and Duchess (really?!) Catherine...can't wait to go home and watch the wedding...the dress was stunning!
Hope everyone has a great weekend~
