No Work.....No Play

I know I have inundated you with pictures of yard work, but I'm just so proud of my husband's efforts to turn our new yard into something really beautiful for us.  He works really hard and even sometimes he can get Emma and Samantha to help him, too.  A few weeks ago we tore out several large bushes that were growing into the fence, in order to make more room in our garden area.  Mark and I tore everything out but then we needed to put the girls to work in order to get all of the debris over to the other side of the property to get ready for a trip to the dump.
As you can see by their faces, Samantha was a little more willing to work than Emma was....

In the end.... we had a VERY large pile to take to the dump.  It took three loads to get it all hauled out of here!
Mark needed to make room for my new peach tree!!!  He planted it, cleared the area, and trimmed the big green bush way back.  We are definitely looking forward to having a harvest from this within a couple of years.
He also made a decorative flower bed to have near the garden - these flowers don't look so great now since it is fall, but in the spring it will be very lovely!
 He also dug a rock path that separates the lawn from our other vegetation - it looks so nice!
Maybe someday I will be able to post pictures of a completed yard but for now, this is a great start!
