The transformation of the yard.

start from the beginning.... Very brown, lots of moss, bumpy. Generally pretty sad. But I like the man with the roto-tiller.

















A closer picture of the ugliness.

Finally, four months later..... All the dead grass is raked up, and we added a couple of features. A landscaped "island", and garden beds against the fence line. Looking better.

Just our work from another angle. By the way, our yard is about 2,500 square feet... That is a lot of raking.

This is the mound of dirt that I raked and shoveled. My mound, not Tim's mound, not the gardening troll, mine. I shoveled every grain of this pile of dirt.

And this my friends, is the almost finished product! Jeremy and Sam blessed us with an extravagant gift certificate to a nursery, and we were able to purchase all of the new plants you see. 4 lining the walk way, 5 up against the fence line and the three on the island. What an amazing blessing that is!
Tim and I had no idea we would be blessed in
that way. We are greatful to have such an obedient brother and sister, who listen to God's voice, and without hesitation give from their hearts. Let me tell you, we like the way God speaks to them! LOL. Thank you Jeremy and Sam, the beautification of this yard was because of you! We love you.
