Yard Work Update

Before Brenda's funeral, we were working on changing the yard. Here are some updated photos of our progress.

Above is a "memorial garden we decided to do after Brenda's funeral. We had talked about doing something around the trees prior, but changed the idea around after the funeral. The bench is the bench that Brenda would sit on every morning. We had Heather's Uncle Bob and Aunt Darc replace the wood and repaint the iron. They really did a nice job and it looks great, Thanks Bob and Darc. A lilac bush was planted in the corner, that was Brenda's favorite plant. A garden stone was placed as well, this was a gift from Heather's Uncle Duane and Aunt Peg. A few other plants were planted in the garden that we received from the funeral. It is a nice relaxing place to sit and watch the kids raise hell in the yard.

This is a photo from inside the above garden, looking towards our house. The iris' on the side of the garage are really pretty this time of year and are in full bloom. I can't believe I just said that last sentence. Brick was laid around the iris' and continue around the garage to the rear of the house.

A shot of the house from the street. As you can see, no more bushes. Brick was laid, mulch inserted and Heather's got some sort of flowers in there, not sure what they are. Replacing the shutters was next on our list, but they may be on the back burner for now.

Side angle of the house. The brick continues from the front to the side of the house. No plants on the side of the house yet, but may have some coming.

That's all for now. We have an open door policy at our house, which means if you're in the area, stop in. We spend lots of time in the yard and would enjoy your company.
