Backyard Project Update

We made some good progress on the backyard. Ann's mom took a couple arial photos. We still have to add some pea gravel and a few other updates before winter arrives. In the Spring Ann plans to plant along the dirt sections left open between the path and the rocks.

On Monday we went up to Spokane for a wedding. We'll return to Pasco on Wed. My son and his girlfriend arrive on Friday, then we head to Seattle on Saturday or Sunday for a few days.

Dave Good morning. Nice work. In the Philadelphia area most of the guys doing stone work are Itilian. Do you have Itilian in you?

Ann's mom must have some long arms to get those camera shots... It is shaping up to be a real retreat in your "spare time". Congrats on a job done well, both of you, and MOM too.

Pretty impressive Dave. You and Ann are multi talented... Author and landscape artist. I'll be sure not to let my wife see this so there isn't any crazy ideas floating around in Madison.

Think of how many eWillys followers you could help out, on your next cross country trip. I know my back yard could use some improvement like that.

Nice, I think you should stock it with trout...

That's looking good Dave.

Thanks all! I promise not to send follow up pics and emails to any wives :-) Steve in SF: It's already stocked with approx 22 Koi. After a few years of trying some medium priced Koi that didn't last, Ann bought a few cheap baby Koi a couple years ago from Walmart and they have thrived and multiplied. A couple are approaching the size of small trout. Carl: My step son has to mow, so I'm fine with having grass. Tom in Paris & Matt: No eBackyards or landscaping services. When Ann suggested I should do this professionally I told her, 'Not a chance'. It was fun to do, a puzzle with random pieces that have to be ordered in a certain way.
