This has been a project for about 3 months now, and at last it is just about finished. I do enjoy working in the yard and trying to make it look nice, but keep the maintance easy on my hubby and I.

We have lots of trees around here, so raking leaves is a real event come fall time. You will see that some leaves were already falling in these pictures, as I was finishing this project up. Seems to be a little early this year.

I love the workout I get when I am out here working, shoveling the gravel, dirt or river rocks, digging up tons of monkey grass and other plants and re-planting them. Seeing something change and come alive looking to me is a real passion of mine.

My hubby does not enjoy this style of work, however he is great about cutting the grass, and working hard so I have the money to buy rocks, dirt and gravel and tools. In the 4 years here, I have worn out a troy riding mower,hauling blocks, bricks, gravel & dirt, when I built the retaining walls on the side yard. I am on my second wheel barrow, and second pull cart behind riding mower plus the new riding lawn mower, a Husqvarna. My hubby has taken over cutting the grass, because he likes the BIG NEW more power Husqvarna riding lawn tractor.  Hey, fine with me, gives me more time on landscaping projects.

So here are the new pictures, I have been talking about so, Cappy and Jen and a few others on here can see what I have been talking about working on.

Hubby, can't figure out how his 5'2", 62 year old wife, can tear up wheel barrows and riding lawn mowers and pull carts, I just tell him, it's all in a days work, sweetheart. :>)
