Progress

So this is our grand plan: I'm not a whiz with photoshop like Matthew but I can whip up a soft rendering whilst making a cake on a Sunday afternoon.

Of course, we can't afford to do all of this now {I didn't bother drawing in the splash pad} and it's much less expensive to add fruit trees in photoshop than it is in real life, but we are on our way! We actually found someone to not only give us a bid, but he has shown up 2 days in a row and we have progress! Plus, tomorrow- barring lack of rain -we are getting our first round of cement. We practically need miles and miles of it, but at least the front yard will get a boost. Look now or forever forget the horror of our lot of dirt in present state:

Oh- and Nor had a birthday.
