The Final Product

Following our move-in, we proceeded to watch all of our grass die during the summer drought.  Some of the landscaping as shown in a previous post (week 21 Update) was implemented based on our budget and the bushes/shrubs etc were watered through the summer.  That didn't stop at least 2 evergreens and a bush or two from dying.

The back yard as filled in by Mike was chock full of rocks and stones.  At one point Holly paid Cordelia for each rock she collected.  This fall we had the backyard re-leveled, a truck of good top soil dumped and fully reseeded.  Results were looking promising but are now under 8-10 inches of snow.  We'll see in the spring.

Next post: Christmas and snow come to Casa de Eble.

I described which house we live in to a mother at Cordelia's gynmastics class.  Her comment "you have quite the wall there!"  Yeah it's a bit larger than we ever expected it to be.  My parents had begun calling the house "The Citadel".
