Once again, we have used the side yard of our house as a junk yard, as debris from the latest clean-up and refurbish has accumulated. I think this is the last one for a long while.
This is mostly rotted and termite eaten wood from the shed, and some of its contents (old shelves and the like).
So now our yard it pretty close to being a blank slate, and the landscaping can begin in months to come.
We still have a pile of rocks that are all pretty cool from Mr. Almen's rock-hounding days (the previous owner), and a stack of used bricks.
We'll figure out how to incorporate them in the yard somehow. In the mean time, visitors enjoy the opportunity to dig through the rock pile for treasures.
Our friends Wade and Jenn visited last night, and their three boys left with a couple of bucket fulls of cool rocks.
The pile in the middle of the back yard is a three tiered fountain that will be one of our features in what will be a garden and patio oasis. Needs a little rework, but what hasn't?
The new back fence was painted by our roomie Sascha. She endearingly refers to it as "my fence." She did a great job.
