Nesting and the yard

So we've let our yard go a little.  We have this cute little corner in the front of our yard, but the kids always cut it short on their bikes and run over our plants.  It's become over run with stepables, that just aren't cute anymore.  Our bubbling rock quick bubbling over 2 years ago and is now home to a giant host of wasps.  It was all falling apart.  Enter my mom.  She and her amazing garden genius came over and in a matter of hours had transformed the corner space into a beautiful area that I love to look at now, then she hosed off our back deck (all of the fallen wisteria petals were dried to the deck) and we called Creative Visions and in less than 20 minutes then came out and fixed our pond!  I feel like I can breath again, this of course fueled my nesting fire.

Yay, I love the sound of bubbling water!

Corner yard goodness

Then today, my dad brought over some of their left over barkdust and John transplanted some plants and spread bark like a fool!  After my sandbox building and sand dumping event yesterday my back was pretty sore, so I acted like a highly paid union member and just bossed everyone else around! Our yard looks amazing!  Even Tristan, who only wants to ride his motorcycle out front, wants to be back here!

Along our fence line, the hastas got a refreshing dose of bark dust!

As did the tree area next to the sandbox!

Thanks, mom, dad, uncle Larry, auntie Anna and John for humoring this incredibly crazy pregnant mama!!
