Per the patio pictures from a few weeks ago, you know we have one very nice looking side of our back yard. Below is a picture of the patio at night with the lights on that we put up. I’m in love with the patio and I sitting out there.
As for the other side, well we just pretend it’s not there. It needs work, but the work has begun! The trees that hang over that side need some trimming so Eric did that. He also pulled up the old flagstone and put it on a pallet in the alley (our land lady wants to sell it). Once the flagstone got pulled up we were left with a giant sand pit, which Indy has not hesitated to make his personal beach. We also planted 3 buckhorn trees along the back fence. These were re-purposed from a job site that Eric did a tear out on and should provide us some privacy from the alley. Yes, we realize they are misshapen and somewhat crazy looking, but we couldn’t trim them in fear they’d die out from transplant shock. We should be able to trim them this week.

| Yes, he's standing on the fence. Yes, he has a chainsaw. Yes, I yelled at him. No, he did not care. |

We’ll keep posting pictures as the backyard continues to evolve. Until then you can enjoy the pictures of our thriving veggies and herbs! Everything is doing really well- I even have a squash growing!
