Well I started out weeding some hills around our gazebo...then hubby and I finished off with pergola's, waterfall with ponds and fish, a bridge or 2...a lot of stairs and pathways. Oh yes and let's NOT forget the firepit! I love the yard and I am in love with the fish!
our new waterfall, bridge, pond and the surrounding pathways it inspired

bridge uptop downward
through the pergola down toward the pond and gazebo
Happy Fall Ya'll
And yes, on this day this man walked down the pathway to take my daughter as his wife...
and passed over some fish on the way
my very handsome hubby walking our daughter down that rather slippery pathway and across the bridge to begin her new life...
Okay this really only shows you that the bridge had a purpose...and that I have a most adorable family!
The couple amidst the landscape
the stone seat my hubby built in a day...and of course my way too cute grandson saying, "they just got married!"

    This is my wifes page and this is the first time that I have looked through these postings of our yard. It was an enormous project for us, mainly because of the time constraints! While I might have been responsible for the heavy construction I just wanted you all to know how amazingly hard my wife worked on this yard. I am a contractor and I know about hard work, but I also know that Wendy (who is perhaps 110lbs wet...lol) would have put to shame a lot of guys that I have worked with. Hauling rocks, staining pergolas and bridges, planting, mulching and pinestrawing....etc etc. Hats off to my wife for being amazing!!

    Awww, Charlie B...thanks! It's true though, haha! I LOVE the work...only flaw in life is that we are not rich and sometimes I have to quit when I still want to do more! haha!!!
