The back yard project.

Remember when my back yard looked like this?

Or this?

Or even like this?

Makes you want to sit a spell, right?

 But now!!
Soon, we will have paint and furniture, too. :)

Yard progress

The front yard is completely done, including planting. I tell you, the landscaping/building arts are a dark, mysterious magic to me. I try to prune or plant something and it ends in tears. These people do things with tools, rock, gravel, and wood, and then PRESTO!

It's amazing.

See?

The stone path that replaced the lawn.
 

When the whole project is done, it will be the Edna Green Memorial Garden, in honor of my
maternal grandmother.















And of course, don't forget:
Dracula's Secret, Blood Wings #1
Dracula's Desires, Blood Wings #2
Dracula Unleashed, Blood Wings #3, to be released March 21, 2013

Lawn project updates.

And here are the latest pictures of the back yard renovation project. Amazing what can be done in two days!  Especially by people who know what they are doing. :) Which would be (drum roll, please....)

 Orlando Construction, Inc.

I cannot rave enough about how fantastic the owner James and the rest of his crew are. They are magnificent! Here are a few shots from after less than a day and a half of work.

The underpinnings of what will be a path through the front yard.

The graceful curve around the house.

The flagstones for the path.

What was our tiny, buggy, overwhelmed back yard.

What will be the end of the path in the backyard.

This is going to be a flagstone 'landing strip' next to the driveway.
