my own private idaho

I know I haven't been blogging much

but I've got lots to say.

I've been busy working on our back yard.

This is the first year we aren't undertaking a big project back there so this year is all about pretty-fying.

And by pretty-fying I mean flowers and lights.

Let's go back and review.

Year 1

We cleared the chaos.

Oh and it was chaos!

Year 2 

We had to get a new fence built.

Before

After.

That same year we built a deck.

Year 3

We took out these bloody awful trees. They were hideous. In the winter it looked like snow covered boobs were peeking up into the living room window. 

Shudder.

Better!

Year 4 

We built a shed. 

I realized when liooking for photos that I don't actually have a photo of the finished project. I'll get on that and update later...

This year?

No big projects. 

Just a lot of pretty. 

The payoff.

We've come a long way.
