As most of you know, when Lance and I were married, we had three houses between us. Two are now rentals and we live in Lance's second house. It was hard for me to really feel at "home" right away, since I had been living in my home for 6 years. But, in the past year, Lance has worked SO HARD making "his house" "our home". And now, it is definitely OUR HOME!
The one area I'm really proud of is our yard. I'm going to try to show off the transition in the next set of pictures (I wish I had taken a few more...this is our backyard, which only a year ago was a MESS! The lawn was torn apart due to drain field issues). But, as I've learned quickly, Lance always has a plan.
Bringing in the Bird of Paradise.
Brant came over and helped Lance out a bit! What fun for a 4 year old boy!
Successfully installed in the yard, now to prune it up.
Lance hard at work.
A view of the other half of our yard: Reclinata/Robellini Palm, a Canary Island Date Palm in the back corner, a few Ligustrum trees, fish tail palms.
View of the Bird of Paradise and the Bismarckia Palm, before grass.
Grass arrives.
Our wonderful neighbor, Alberto, joined in to help. Lucia and Albertico helped as well! You'd be surprised how heavy those little squares of grass are!
Still hard at work...
Finished product!
Beautiful!
He even left a little room for a garden.
But, a few weeks later, added the garden boxed in the side yard.
Looking forward to veggies in the spring!
And then, I went out of town for work...and came back to this:
We MUST put the new Zoysia grass in the front yard as well! More pictures to follow of the front yard...plus one last view of the backyard!
