Hard work!

It's been sweltering here.  95+ degrees outside and humid as heck.  Just stepping outside makes you sweat.  Yuck, it's not pretty.

Leave it to us to take this opportunity to do some pretty heavy yard work.  Rip out sod and plant trees and shrubs and plants.  What can we say?  There was a great sale at our local nursery!

Here is a view of our backyard taken a couple of months ago.

And here is what it looks like now.

We (Aaron mostly - but I did help a bit) took out all the sod along the east side of the yard and up on the top as well.  Look where the garden hose is going, to the left of Cricket is some peony plants.  The sod was taken out to there.  We planted several shrubs and flowers and even a cherry tree!

We have a lot more work to do on our yard but every step makes a difference.  Less grass to mow!  Happy 4th of July!
