GREEN!!

This blog post is brought to you by the color green!

First green item - our garden, which is doing beautifully and VERY green.


Second green item - a backyard, six years in the making. It's been six years since Nick and I first moved into our house. The backyard looked something like this:

The backyard was surrounded by rock drives (they were too wide to be called paths), badly built gardening beds, horribly diseased plants and trees and a Koi pond with badly planted bamboo. Nick and I have attempted to "remodel" our backyard multiple times - we've rototilled, moved hundreds of wheelbarrows of rock and dirt, ripped out the stupid/disgusting Koi pond, graded, planted grass and so much more. When we finally "gave up" we had hauled out over a ton of trash out of the backyard. We finally made the decision to have someone else come in and do the work for us. We started saving our money and hired Matt, from Form to Function to come and put in a backyard for us. Money well spent!!!

Day 4

Every time we look out a window or stand on the back patio we both just sigh with happiness. Nick and I both keep saying that it's like being in a dream and we're going to wake up and it will all be back to weeds and dirt. We are reveling in the backyard beauty and enjoying tiptoeing through the new grass.

**Anyone in the Seattle area or surrounding areas, Matt McAuslan at Form to Function is the guy you should go to first!
