Good-bye, Grass!

A few pics of our finished, grass-free yard!!


We're still not quite done: there will eventually be a metal roof supported by the tree trunks, with a deck built between the trunks, over the rock currently there.

Lady banks rose vining on a yard-sale chair. In the spring it will be covered by white roses.

This is the girls garden, currently it has lettuce, carrots and peas sprouting. (courtesy of Rod the builder)


More garden for me (again, courtesy of Rod the builder)! Peas, carrots, lettuce, and onions reside here.


Rod's "piece de resistance": a child's bench with planters built into the sides. I planted succulents in them, it looks awesome. The girls love it- a little bench just for them! Rod built this bench crazy fast- one night if you can believe it!
One of my favorite things about our yard is that all the bark came from our cut-down trees! Eco-friendly and free!!

You guys do fast work! It looks good. I wish our projects were that timely. I love the bench - Rod you should make kits and sell them! (In your spare time- ha)
