Heaven on Earth-the story of our backyard!

Six days later, tons of dirty laundry, gallons of lemonade and sweet tea, and aching muscles we didn't know we even had...and you have our updated back yard. 

Three years ago we added the pond and most of the landscaping around it, we have since updated many of the beds with more shrubs and plants.  We moved our herb to a new location, and redid the hill it once called home. 

The new herb garden is awaiting dirt and herbs.  We are expecting heavy rains tonight, so we didn't want to chance not getting the dirt/plants in the ground in time.  It will be completed later in the week.  And, the rocks from our old garden will find a new home amongst all the new plants. We have lots of buds just waiting to burst open with the season's beautiful display of color (I will post new pics when that happens). 

Only downside...the pollen is AWFUL!!!  So, sitting on the porch or lounging in the chaise by the pond will have to wait a couple more weeks.

Okay...I know, enough talk...let's see the pictures (warning...TONS of pictures ahead!!!) Oh, and ignore the grass...it's fate is next!!






















Hope you enjoyed the tour!  Now, if you'll excuse me...I need to go get a massage ASAP!!!!
