Better Landscaping Pics

We have recovered, a little, from our marathon weekend of landscaping! I realized I really didn't get the best pics, so I took some while we were out watering everything this evening. It looks soooo good and we are so appreciative to Crystal and Kelly for giving up their weekend to work in our new yard. My dad helped us out, too (we are keeping him young - ha!) and my mom had the tough, tough job of keeping Charley.

They put the shutters on today - around the wrong windows. So...that means that we will now get free shutters for the other 3 windows!



Here is the little bit of concrete that we were able to get with the amount the builder had in the budget - not much! We have decided to spend some extra money and asphalt the rest of the driveway. I'm not excited about spending the money but I AM excited that I will have a clean car - no more gravel!

We need to get a decorative pot - or something - to put some annual flowers in. That will go in the spot where there is none of the decorative grass. The azalea's are beautiful! We didn't get enough sod to finish the back yard. We are going to get more, once we move in.
The 3 Charlie Brown Christmas trees! Actually, these will grow to be huge and fluffy - Rich assures me these will be my favorite trees!
You can't really tell, but in the far left hand side of the picture there is a horse...there are 4 or 5 horses in the pasture across the street. Kalee and I are looking forward to feeding them carrots, once we move in!

The only trees that did not get planted are the 10 cherry trees that will line the driveway.
