Backyard Makeover Part III - Grand Finale

Well, it appears that we are
mostly finished with our backyard...

Putting down the sand...


The sand is all level!


Ready for flagstone! 

Our dog is ridiculous - ridiculously cute!



It's level!

Getting eaten by mosquitos...


What a mess!



It's starting to look like something, folks!






Strike a pose!



Making sure there is plenty of sand in between the stones...



IT'S ALMOST FINISHED!




Ta-da!

We are both SO pleased with the way it turned out!


Now we just have to get rid of the rest of the dirt and
 get the grass to look pretty again.
Also, my new bushes are being attacked by Aphids -
so we're trying to kill those so my plants don't die.
My aunt Paula gave me the scoop on ridding our yard of the pests.
BEFORE.......

......AND AFTER!


Eric made this ski chair a few years ago out of some old skis.
And there is Oliver's outdoor water dish.
And of course, the grill!

I love our little Bistro Table - A wedding gift from Mr. Bob Wray

So, there will probably be one more Blog about 
our backyard.  Once the yard is completely cleared
 out and the bushes are without bugs.  

But, we love it!
It turned out better than I imagined!
