Side Yard from the Street

May2007

I say "side yard" like there is actually more to our yard. There really isn't. We have a hill in the backyard...and a small path around the house where our birdfeeders and future sunflower patch are...and a hill in the front. SO...the side yard is the yard. Troy (and Henry) built a playarea to keep the little man busy (see his blog -June07- for pics!) Then it was on to more "fun".

After the play area and fence came the walkway. I was out weeding in early spring and found brick after brick.So I unearthed them..and found what I assume was flower beds bordering the house and around a clump of peony. Later I found another 1 ft. bed running the length of the property along where our fence is now. I unearthed all of the bricks and relaid them to form our beds/walkway...and then Troy started digging...and digging and digging. He dug down 10" the entire length of the walkway...and a patio sized area near the back porch and Henry's play area. Whew!
