Yard Update

We had a really really busy weekend, but it was very productive. This was Saturday's progress...Retaining wall almost done and dirt brought in for the grass. We bought a lemon tree and will buy a lime tree when they are in stock on Thursday.

Here is the sunburn I got after about an hour of moving bricks from the garage to the backyard.
My aunt and uncle were in town and came over for a BBQ on Sunday. I made a super yummy dessert; my coworker's recipe:
Melt 1 bag chocolate chips, 1 bag of butterscotch chips and 1 cup of peanut butter. Remove from heat, then fold in 1 bag of small marshmallows. Spread into a 9x13 pan. Refrigerate until it becomes solid again. Leave out for about 30 minutes before cutting (makes it easier to cut). They are pretty gooey if left out, so try to keep them cold until serving.My aunt and uncle.My step-dad and mom were over for the BBQ also and my step dad jumped right in and helped:Sprinklers being put in...The project after Sunday's work.Here is our grass being delivered this morning before I left:I can't wait until I get home to get better pictures, but Doug text this photo to me a little while ago:
WE HAVE GRASS!! Doug took the day off and worked on the grass in the rain! If you live near us and need landscaping (or handyman work), I will certainly recommend Matt. "When it Matt'Rs"
I'm sure more photos will follow, but I couldn't wait to share!
We still need to plant the citrus trees and finish the corner of the yard. I'm so impressed with the work that's been done over the last few days.
