GRASS!!! And lots of it. After a few days of hard work (by the landscapers) we have a great new yard. A couple of neighbors have already stopped by to say how nice it looks (and that it's about time:). I love grass, especially here in the desert.
I will label the pics clockwise form top left. The top left is the side of the house in the backyard where the trashcans go. I know that is not really exciting but the flagstones & paved pad for the trashcans to sit on is:). The next picrture is the paved path continuing beyond the gate all the way to the front porch for nice smooth trash can taking out. Then there is the strip to onee side of the drive way with the purple tree, grass & bushes. Then a picture of what we see when we open the door. The big bottom right picutre is pretty much the after of the before shot I posted last time. We have a cute little planter area around the base of the tree that I can plant seasonal flowers in, and the last picture is the grass in the backyard. It was so wonderful to walk down the staris the other day & see green out the back windows!!!!! Everything looks so much nicer and feels better. Now we just need to stay off of it while it takes root then we will be good to go!!!

I am so excited for you and your yard! I remember getting grass and finally feeling like a home:) We still don't have our planters planted but we try to keep the weeds down. I hope when we are passing through sometime we can stop and visit you. Maybe in October?:)
We would love it anytime!!!!
Looks Great!!! Can't wait to come over and see it in person.
It is so fun to have a yard! We have grass, but we actually don't have a back door, so I can't just send my kids into the back yard to play...annoying! Yours looks awesome!!!
That looks great! I love the before and after pictures. I think anything green, but especially grass is oh so important when you live somewhere in the desert. Enjoy that! Hey I'm coming up to Vegas in October to run RAGNAR (actually with Robyn and a few other runners) so maybe we'll have to all get together.
Definitely let us know when you are coming Maylene. Anyone is welcome to stay or we could meet you somewhere for a visit.
