Progress on our Yard Project

When I got home, I was eager to see how the progress was with our yard and this is what I found....

Shot crete (not sure if I spelled it right) should be done this week.  Few more months and we're hoping it'll be done in time for summer.

And here's a sneak peek of our back yard (part of it).  I can't show our dying (or died- past tense) cypress trees from lack of watering them.  I need to keep up with garden work, which I only have time to do while the kids are playing in the backyard.
