Brandon's been working hard!

I wish we had a picture of our backyard before Brandon began spending endless hours in it. It's amazing how fast things grow here! When I came out to look at the house the owner had completely weed-wacked everything down, yet, when we moved out a month later, it was a jungle! Brandon learned the hard way that Poison Ivy and Poison Sumac grew especially well :)
He's been working so hard, and his labors are beginning to pay off! He was able to reuse the bricks that were buried around the yard, and constructed a great pathway and a retaining wall (which will soon include a fountain!) He planted grass, which has grown 1/2" in the week since we've planted it. It's coming together!An aerial shot--not the best quality, since it's from my cell phone, but you get the idea!

You'll find that grass grows especially well here in PA... wait until August, everyone starts hoping their grass will finally die. It looks great- you've done a good job!

Very pretty....so not like that here in the AZ! I'm sure you miss the "rain"...you know the one? The rain that lasts for 30 seconds and leaves your car looking like it sprinkled MUD!? Yes, that happened today!

You are so talented, Brandon. Just the improvements on your yard alone will be a huge selling point whenever you move back West. It looks really great!
