Before we started on our yard, we decided that we needed a "blank canvas" to begin, so we cleared EVERYTHING out of the yard....all the old bushes and shrubs. We decided to build a fountain in the corner of our yard because we LOVE the sound of running water. Frank's middle son, Ian, spent a couple of weeks with us in May and he did all the REALLY HEAVY work....digging, hauling rocks, rocks and more rocks, brick, dirt, etc. He got the new fountain started and his work was GREATLY appreciated!!! The fountain is still a work in progress but we're almost finished with it!!! We have some new trees and bushes planted, a new little walkway by the back gate (thanks, again, Ian) and we are LOVING sitting out on our patio and enjoying our "new yard"!!!!! BTW....I woke up one morning in July to find the cutest little sign hanging on a hook on the patio that says "What HAPPENS on the porch STAYS on the porch!!" Thanks for that, Lydia Blevins!! So true, so true!!!
