Updated Yard

Pictures of our house have been a long time coming...here are a few of the backyard that is now done! Yeah. I think next weekend we will be done with the front and then we will move onto the inside. Dallas has put so much work into this. We won't know how to spend our weekends once the house is complete.

Personally I think the best part about it...Most everything Dallas built was created with things found around our house. Rocks grow in abundance here so he used it to create part of the retaining walls, the front of the grill, the firepit, and of course to line our flower beds. He even used old brick from a previous elevated garden (I was sad to loose that, but have no fear I am recreating a smaller one next year)to create the base for the grill. He is AWESOME. We worked hard, mostly Dallas and we can't wait for you to stop by!

We are totally opposite. We have worked all on the inside first. Because of doing the inside first, our yard is basically a dirt patch. But way to go! It seems like a lot of work....

Can I borrow your husband for a few weeks. That looks so awesome! I have lived in my house for a year, and have nothing to show-- you guys did it sooo fast. Hey, what do I need to do to order the el bow maker--how much is shipping? All that fun stuff!

Jay...I love the yard, and cant wait to see it. Sorry I have not called you back. Carly has been running a fever and not feeling well, and I have been exhausted from Florida, but Im missing you like crazy and think we need to get together really soon. Ill call you sometime this week!!

Mark, Monette, Coytt and Dalon said...

That looks great! Dallas did an awesome job. I wish we could find a house out here with a big beautiful yard like that. Our yard is so tiny, I guess we will just have to come visit so Coytt can run wild in your backyard.
