Big Blue/Landscape Progress

Big Blue, the Utah State Aggie mascot, came to play at the neighbor's house down the street on Saturday. It was just a fun ice cream party and Big Blue stayed for a long time. He even wrestled with a bunch of rowdy boys on the trampoline. The kids had a blast!








Here are some pictures of our yard in progress. These are more for me (and my mom and sisters who want to see what is going on) because I wanted to make sure to get pictures along the way, but maybe you'd like to see too. Possibly it may lure you to come to visit us, and enjoy our yard with us. So, ... 1. They completed the waterfall which looks and sounds very peaceful. 2. They started a big arbor covering over the back patio doors. 3. Another company is here to replace the cheap aluminum railings on our deck with some very nice iron belly railing so that they can weld a small spiral staircase to it. Now we will have a way down from our deck instead of feeling like we are in jail. 4. The sport court retaining wall was surfaced with a stucco-like stuff so it will look better than plain cement 5. Some paver patio areas were added near the sport court and the fencing for around it is coming soon. 6. The fire pit is being worked on 7. And they just dropped off another load of boulders. There are many many rocks back here for boys to climb on.

Just for you curious ones, the tall wood tower is a swing set in progress. Just swings, no slide and fort. And the round thing is a trampoline that was dug into the ground to make it ever so slightly a little bit more safe. This week they are trenching for the sprinklers and to run wire for lighting, and we should be getting some trees, plants, a couple of raised garden boxes, mulch and finally grass sometime in the next few weeks. So beautiful, so thankful.
