This summer we have taken on a project of expanding the usable space of our yard. This has been an on going project but we are starting to see pleasing results! One of the most remarkable times are the early mornings when the sun has just awaken and the song birds delight us in welcoming a new day. The leaves are just starting to turn colors and the mornings are cool. By mid-day the sun warms us up to mid 80's but by the evening we enjoy the perfect weather watching the children play in the culd-e-sac and sneaking a few minutes away on the deck to relax is my relief after a busy day. There is much more to be done with the yard. I will re-seed the yard one more time before winter sets in then next spring we will tackle the next section. Kim worked really hard and hand dug a drainage creek in our back yard. We had it filled with white stone and it has been complete success during rain storms. We had fill dirt brought in and extended the area for grass and then it was up to me to plant. Within five days we had grass growing and now all I have to do is water everyday just to keep in moist as it continues to come in on its own. It is a miracle to see what hard work and the gifts of God can bring forth!
