The Front Yard

I finished the patio, and we're finally posting it (I'm on blog duty while Nancee makes cookies. I am definitely getting the better end of this deal!) Note Erica staring at Kayla - one of her favorite things to do as of late. She's so interested in anything the dog does. Maybe I'd get more much attention from my daughter if I also rolled around in dirt and ate off the floor... more often.

At least I don't have to mow the lawn very often. Never, in fact. Here we are by our new agave.


Erica is being subjected to her daddy's palm fettish.

...and again... (we went on a plant buying binge this month)


I reshaped the grounds on this side of our house, planted two rocks, and a golden barrel cactus -none of which need much water. I found that big rock on a campout. It's heavier than it looks.

I did some reshaping of the grounds, redid the rock bed, and transplanted some stuff.
