Our Backyard

has Spring finally arrived on Aspen Avenue?
after a few freak spring snow storms (read as blizzards)... we decided it was time to tackle the jungle that is our backyard!

our beautiful boy

loves to play in the garden, but does not love the gardening so much....yet :)

the large apple tree
(the poor thing lost a limb to the blizzard)
of course, there has to be tulips!
(we will be planting purple ones in the fall)

the grape hyacinth


Brent tilled our future garden plot


the small apple tree in bloom
(this picture does not due justice to the beauty of this little tree)


the garden bench needs a little TLC,
but we hope to have it looking nice in a few weeks.

Our pear tree in bloom
So these are the before pictures...
we hope to have after pictures in a couple of months!

We are soooo jealous! I hope you all enjoy gardening and yard work:). Geneva absolutely loves tulips and said to tell you "purple is a good choice but they do make pink ones too". Rebekah
