The Yard: 365

Last May we decided that it was time to do something about the current state of our yard. Upon undertaking this task I did not realize that my yard would be out of commission for most of the Summer.


Day 1 of the destruction:

Come to find out, tearing up perfectly decent yard and starting over is a lofty task.

A task that would require a good dragging by the trusty Land Rover for a week or two to rid the yard of the rock families now starting to multiply by minute.

A task that would yield a mud pit in the dead of Summer. This is Seattle, after all.

But, eventually, a year later we have the yard my husband always dreamed of.

The rock wall which was built in a rainstorm in the dead of Winter. What can I say it rains all year 'round.


But, more importantly my husband spent all of his Father's Day Weekend doing some finishing work on the patio. I present to you our eating bar.


And the benches:

Almost done! And, I can't believe it! Internet please give my husband, the best father a woman could ask, a round of applause for a wonderful backyard!
