The Yard Is Improving!!

Well we have been very busy working on our yard with planting grass and landscaping. A little less than a month ago we planted some grass and it is starting to fill in nicely across our lots. The picture below will show how the grass is coming in.

The Front Of Our House With Grass And Landscaping

We also have been busy doing some landscaping. We have planted some shrubs along the front of the house. Also, along the front of the house we have some flowers and accent rocks. Jenny's dad helped us lay down a bunch of rocks along the front of the house to dress it up nicely. Along with the landscaping on the front of the house, we have planted many trees. We still have our Weeping Willow that survived the winter, but now we have many more trees. We have one big autumn blaze maple, and many smaller red maples. In the back yard we planted 3 honeycrisp apple trees. Along the east side of our lot, Jenny's dad put in about 60 spruce trees so the yard is filling up nicely.

This past Saturday we had our fireplace delivered. The guy that built our custom cabinets for our house, built us a fireplace mantel, surround and hearth. We are very pleased with how it turned out and it looks beautiful in our living room.

Fireplace In Our Living Room

We are enjoying the warm up in weather now so we can get outside and work on some more projects. We hope to be able to build our deck here sometime shortly. Along with that also we hope to find time to go camping and golfing....and maybe sneak in a Twins game :-)
