A minor face lift of our landscaping

Here's a glance at our new favorite place to eat breakfast, lunch, supper, hang out, read, watch the girls play, look at the stars, or just about anything else.

Ava and Ema really enjoy eating outside. Mommy and daddy like it to. They can get as messy as they want. :) And thanks to T-Mobile for the table. Daddy won an award at work and they gave him a gift card that was more than enough to buy us a new table and umbrella.



We added 7'x12' of free paver stones to extend the patio.


Here's a snapshot of the finished product. New pavers, new steps with a built-in toy box, and a little area for mulch and maybe someday a whiskey barrel for strawberries!



In the front we re-worked the landscape stones to extend the area over to the driveway. We also needed to transplant a few hostas.


Here's the new mulched area to clean up the edge of the patio. Perfect size for a small planter.


A different view of the extended patio pavers. Needed some fill dirt to grade it off. Waiting for the grass to grow.

Ava and Ema's outdoor toy box.

Finally some sturdy steps. Still need a hand rail on the left side.
