backyard progress

here's a before and after of the backyard:

The yard had pretty much gotten out of control. Gosh it looks really awful in that picture. Then we worked with the guys next door who were building the fence for the new townhomes to build our fence, and they cleaned out a lot of the foliage with one of those big tonka trucks one day when they were taking out a bunch of the construction waste next to us. The builder has been really cool to us.

It was hard to let go of the plants - but it had really gotten out of hand and now we have a clean slate. Before it was really just for the dogs to poop in. Now maybe Willy and I can do something with this space. It's huge by the way. One of the townhomes next door would fit in our back yard.
