The yard project is now complete. The one area I lacked in photo journaling is the week we got a new driveway I was a little preoccupied with something else that week. Or should I say someone:
| I don't know much about this yard project except that I like my swing! |
To think that the whole thing started with a vague statement, “Mike and I are bored so we’re coming up next weekend
to work on your yard,” from Papa.

Best blog ever!
