Updated Yard Pictures

So some of you have been hounding me for updated pictures of our yard (you know who you are) so I finally got around to taking some pictures of our yard AFTER the grass has grown in. Henry and I have been working hard in our yard trying to make it nice (or nicer than it was). I have my herb garden now (yay!) and Henry's parents were so generous and bought us so many cool flowers to plant in our new front bed. We have spent many weekends in the yard pruning back overgrown shrubery, pulling weeds and transplanting plants. It still has a way to go, but it is about 100 times better than what it was! So here are some pictures of our lawns transormation from start to finish!

A picture of our front yard the day we closed on the house. Everything was overgrown.Some pictures of after our yard was destroyed replacing the sewer pipe
AFTER! The grass has grown in!
Our new front bed. Needs some mulch, but all the stones are locally grown in our front yard :)
Love the grass!Our newly weeded, pruned front bed.

Every garden needs a little whimsy. Our Pitt garden gnome.
Side yard the day we closed!Side yard after sewer debacle.
I affectionatly referred to this as our swimming pool. It was a sink hole that filled with water every time it rained and took forever to dry.
My new herb garden!
Side yard after grass!No more pool!
