They also need to plant two trees in the park strip as required by the city & HOA. That should happen next week...had to order the trees.
We need to do a little bit more on the west side...by the fence in the front we need to plant a shrub or two.
You can see here that they haven't put any mulch down yet...Supposed to happen on Monday.
The fire pit was built on Saturday and we broke it in that night with the Wiegands. Tried out our new grill as well by making beer can chicken (with Kevin's coaching). Oh my goodness is that ever good! I got the chicken stand for $5 at Homer's and we had some left over cans of Girlie Light so we put it to good use. Tried it with some Malibu rub and it was juicy and delicious. I highly recommend it! Easy and yummy! We completed the evening with a campfire and smores for dessert! What a great night.
The landscapers need to put the sand in the cracks of the pavers on Monday and Jim and I are headed to the nursery to pick out some more plants for the back...We originally cut out our plant budget in the back because it was getting too expensive, but since we were able to maintain our budget, Andy's letting me splurge and spend a little more for a few trees and shrubs for the back. I'll fill in the rest on my own. I found a great deal online for a local nursery here. Buy a $35 gift certificate for only $15! I ended up getting three so I have $105 to spend but it only cost me $45! If nothing else, I need to get some veggies to plant in my new vegetable garden!
I'll post more pics next week...once we get the mess cleaned up...there is dirt EVERYWHERE!

I know I've said it before but your home is absolutely gorgeous. Makes me miss the west. I would LOVE to have a basement again. You can plant a rockin' garden out there too! I grew my only garden in UT and it was fabulous. Just be prepared to cover it when it freezes June 1 and September 1. :)
