Yardwork

Blake and I have had our backyard on our to-do list for house projects since we moved in.  It was an eyesore from the beginning and after not touching it for about 2-1/2 years, it moved over into the category of dreadful….and even worse….baby hazard.

After identifying about 5 different ways my baby dolls could die in the backyard, this mama bear put an end to it and we got busy.

We put an ad on Craigslist and listed everything in our backyard that we wanted gone for FREE.

People came out of the woodwork for an entire month digging up plants that they wanted to take home, hauling away bricks, fence posts, chicken wire, lattices, and the list goes on….  

Like I said….EYESORE!

BUT…the rock…oh the rock...there must have been thousands of pounds of rock in this backyard that people hauled off in their trailers and trucks.

Once our *free* demolition was finished, we have started to get this back yard into shape and starting to look a little nicer.

And the best part is, Caroline and Ellie can roam free back there without me having to worry they are going to choke on a rock.  They now have plenty of room to run, push their Cozy Coupes around work on their dirt masterpieces with their shovels.
