Our yard is in!!!! Thank you so much Todd!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!

Front yard from the window:
back yard from the window:
back yard from the window. Where the puddle is, is where the playhouse will be:


Us eating on our patio for the first time (sans grass):

front yard (with caution tape around it to keep out kids and neighborhood dogs):





front planter bed. I need to add mulch and path lights we have in the garage. I put in a bunch of little perennials so hopefully in a few years this will have all grown in. I planted climbing roses under the columns:



back yard flagstone patio. i put groundcover plants in between the flagstones, hopefully they will grow between the stones. The patio is all dirty right now. There is a flagstone pathway that goes from that circle patio in the corner (future swinging bench) to the sandbox on the side of the house:
I LOVE the lamp posts! It looks so pretty at night. All the dirt is where I will add: a hedge around the fence, shade trees, bushes and flowers.
the patio:
The steps from the house to the patio are stone:

The first tree we have in the back yard:


I planted climbing vines to cover the ugly siding on the house:

There's an outlet on the right for a water fountain or little stream in the future:

In the front on the side, there is a little flower bed (here is a climbing rose) and a path that goes along the side of the house to the backyard:
The path that goes to the back yard. Future sight of bushes, trees and flowers:
