From drab to fab…our backyard

This is what our backyard looked like when we moved in in July… a barren wasteland of dirt and old rusty nails and screws.  (Apparently, whoever lived here before liked to work on cars back there).  DSCN3036

After a few months of faithful watering and care…

Monsoon storms are rolling in in the next two pictures…hence the funny sky and light color.

Ta da!!!  Lovely green grass!  It covers most of the yard though there are still a few holes on the sides.

We took advantage of this especially beautiful November day to enjoy a picnic.  November is the month that reminds us why we love to live in Arizona.  The temperatures in the mid 70’s all day and nice cool evenings charm our memories are and we forget those rotten summer months.

Your yard looks amazing! Good work. I'm jealous I want a closed in yard with luscious green grass.
