yard work is exhausting

So it's been a couple days since I posted anything, but I'm still here. 

I've been working on the front yard and back yard.  It's nice to see all my work paying off, 

I wasn't able to get pictures of the front yard which is pretty much finished, but I'll post those in the next couple days.  but I do have some of the back yard to show what I have been up to this week.   

I have big plans for the back yard to make it a place to have people over and enjoy the summer and the winter in it.

last year we rottotilled the lawn to make it more even, but then the first frost came and froze the ground.  then grass/weeds grew back, so now I'm filling in the holes so we can level it all out and have a flat lawn.

I hate those trees, but I have to deal with them because they are the neighbours....so I want to plant flowers along the fence to try to make them look a bit nicer :)

This is a giant hill that I've been slowly bringing down to expand the vegetable garden 

my tiny vegetable garden, I obviously didn't make it big enough for all the plants I put in it, but it will be expanded soon :)

This garage will be getting torn down and a new one built, and where the wood is it's going to be another garden to finally add some colour to it.  there's too much green.

this fence is the most annoying thing ever, I have 3 tree stumps that I can't get out because they grew in the fence, and well I'm not strong enough hahaha. , I still have no idea what I want to do with this fence but grow some climbing thing that has colour.  I love colourful things :)

So that's what I've been trying to accomplish this week, it's going to take me a while to do everything I want in the backyard.  I want a huge tiered rock garden along the back fence with a water fall...but that's a long way off but I can slowly start.

oh and I'll have some interesting things to post coming up in the next couple weeks.  Our second wedding anniversary is coming up on the 20th, and one of my best friends will be coming to take a bunch of family pictures which are long long over due.  hahaha the last ones we had got done in wal-mart when our second son was 2 months old and looked like an alien, and we looked exhausted and bloated. I'll post that picture in a couple days when I find my scanner to show you just how bad a picture it is. 

The only one who is looking good is my eldest son haha.

I hope everyone has a great night and I will try to post again tomorrow and if not the next day :)
