I'll Admit - I Like the Looks of Urban Decay

Except when its MY GARAGE. Someday we'll fix it up. For now, it serves its purpose.
But how nice is that fence? Nice right? Oh yeah it is.

Looking fence-like.

Big Project - Day 3 of Photos

In fence building mode. For how would one contain ones children without a fence? Ah, a nice fence designed by Hubby, he's pretty much the Superman of Fence Superintendents.

Big Project - Day 2 of Photos

Not however, the second day of working on the project.

Here is Himself, hard at work, and he really was doing work, well. I was very proud of him.

The Big Project

These shots gives you a pretty good look at how overgrown our backyard was. Those hedges and lilac bushes are like... 20 feet tall! Whoa. I mean, I like lilacs but really, I wanted a backyard the kids could hang out in and play in and bar-b-que and lounge in and I could say "Go outside kid, you're bothering me" (J/k on that one but YOU know what I mean.) And so, in May of 2006 we started our Big Project. Hubby hired a teenageer to take down most of the foliage - tho we did end up having a professional come in and remove the last of those lilacs. Quite beautiful they were, a really nice deep purple. But I can plant more if I want.

Anyway, this is the beginning. Stay tuned for further installments of... The Big Project.

One last note, these are not very good photos, however I did want to share how excited I am every day, to have a wonderful backyard. Stay tuned.
