Backyard Progress

We've been busy working in the back yard.  It was so neglected (as most everything with this property).  It is fun to look back at what it was like.....wow!  

Before....yuck
Neglected.....
After......ahhhhh

African Daisies, Columbine, Purple Fountain Grass

View from the deck

Gross, blah, can't wait to change.....

Granted it was winter, but again neglected


Before: we moved the swing out of that area and knew the
robin's egg blue HAD to go
After - painted white, next up; cushions - it is 6 ft long
so will be getting three colorful cushions
Bought veggies for our garden!

Sophia & I planted
After: view from the deck - fire pit and veggie garden
Not entirely completed yet, but wanted to share so far
Going to mulch or rock the open area and put some
perennials in the corners
