My Yard!

So, when we moved in to our townhouse, the backyard consisted of a 20x4 foot section of weeds, you know, the kind that have thorns and thistles and grow to be more than 6 feet tall. It has stayed that way for almost 5 years, while we dreamed of what we could do to make it better.....
Maybe we could cover it with weed-guard fabric and put paving stones on it, maybe build garden boxes to try and grow some veggies, maybe just gravel or wood chips or maybe. . . well you get the point.
Finally, we decided the time was right (and our desperation for a safe place for the kids to play) and we finally did something. You can see in the photos the before, during and finished product. It isn't amazing or anything, but it is exciting for us!
