something is actually finished!

Just a few yard pictures. Feel free to skip this post if you aren't interested. :)

Here is Scott 'in the trenches' if you will. Some of this dirt was really packed down, so he was not looking forward to cleaning it out. Some of it came right out though.

And then - sprinklers! The pipe is under the sidewalk and everything! yea! (and THEY WORK!)

We got some gravel and filled in where the utility boxes are on the south end of the property. This also shows some new trees and sprinkler pipe (the sprinklers work and everything). What is that nice building behind us? The elementary school. Yup - right there, and the bells will ring all summer, evidently. Excellent!

Here is the gravel around the utility boxes at the north end of the property. Yes, we have boxes on both corners. Isn't that lovely? You can also see some sprinkler pipe in this picture. (Did I mention that THEY WORK?!)

We haven't been able to get too much done over the past few weeks because it has been raining. Unusual for these parts, but welcome. It makes Stephen a muddy boy just about every day that we are able to go outside, but he doesn't mind. The yard is coming along. We will be excited when those sprinklers are able to actually water something. But for now it is nice to know that Scott was able to design and install those all by himself! Way to go!
