Actually, I'm taking a real risk in even posting this because something could always get in the way of completing this project. We're supposed to go over the 100 degree mark this weekend. That always slows things down.
There used to be a deck covering the entire back yard. We took that down. Then we found electric wiring that needed to be removed. In order to do that, we had to dismantle two brick planters that were a few feet high. And inside one of those planters was a bush that had grown into a tree. That had to come down. Finally, last fall, we installed sprinklers just before it got cold. All this work has left us with the following picture:
I purposefully took a photo with it all weedy so I could do another one of those before and after shots. I don't have a true before picture. I gotta remember to take those. Anyhoo, I'm almost done clearing the weeds! Sorry this is such a lousy post, but I'm pretty darn excited! The after picture will come soon. Hopefully . . .
And here are some of my Mother's Day presents. Super-size cards!! You can't tell, but they're huge. One of the benefits to having walls not yet painted are that I can tack up things without worrying about spoiling the paint job.

I'm overcome with emotion! That yard has been all concrete for so long I can't WAIT to see some green in there. Please hurry.
People don't know what a big deal it is to have grass in that backyard. In the whole 28 years of my life, I have never seen that backyard green... it must be a sign of the second coming. Never thought I would see the day. I am very excited to utilize it!
Ooooo, I'm excited for the "green" photo. And hey, at least you got cards from your kids! I think the only thing my kid gave me was a stinky diaper. Oh ya, and he called me Momma and gave me a hug (which honestly makes up for all of the stinky diapers in the world).
You are such a hard worker. Go Irene! Your front yard looks gorgeous! I'm excited to see the finished back yard picture!
