The front yard

making progress . . . . . . . .

Our home
late June 2009

The north deck fence is now up. The stone walled garden is also in and
growing well. We have raised the yard level and planted real grass.
Chuck has built the lovely rose arbor and we are redoing the sidewalk.

We wish would could re-side but want to have all the window
and door work done first. If anything we have learned to look
at the big plan so we do not have to redo too many items.

When we started cleanup of the yard we thought
we would never get to this point! We are very happy
with how the yard is turning out.

Walking up Walnut Street the house is now clean
and inviting. The huge old Ash trees in the front yard
provide lots of shade. We have planted a couple
Maples to replace the Cedars as we know we
will have to remove one more.
