The very beginning of the project began in the winter of 2006. Our backyard started as trees and brush just a few feet from our back door. We cleared 6 huge trees and all the brush, and the summer Lucy was born we put in our stone patio and fireplace. We have gradually worked toward completion of this project, and year after year it has gotten better!
and so in May some more work began.....

The crew of builders and helpers (a very special thank you to Jeremy for bringing all your expertise and skill) THANK YOU
May 15 Jim had a crew of family over to help build a much needed deck off the lower half of the back. They worked pretty much from dawn till dusk (I was told--I fortunately had a great time away for the weekend--kid free) and the end product is amazing. In the last 3 weeks Jim and I figure we have spent more time out there than in the last 6 years combined! This and the swingset have now brought our back yard project to a close!
