Slippery Landscaping

One of the greatest things about owning your own home is being able to do whatever you absolutely please to it. The peeps on our cul-de-sac are awesome in their own right: they care about what their house looks like and it's very nice to know that if we need a helping hand we have one or four!!! Since Erik is home to help out we've come up with many-a projects for our very temporary little nest egg. The greatest things we are attempting on our diy list is turning our front garden into a rock garden and putting up a gutter system so our garden won't get washed away in the next rain storm. Well, I am so stinkin proud of us, especially Erik, with the thanks of our stupendous neighbors. Not only do I have a beautiful rock garden that I love, but Erik dug a pond as well!!! Also, after a few trial and errors, advice from neighbors, and a few hours of cursing and tears Erik got the gutter system up! What a trooper...he sure knows how to woo me...haha...
Before...when the rain set in...
The truck was loaded down!!! Nikelis helped lay out the rocks!!!

I don't have a picture of the pond just yet because although it's complete, I'm not entirely satisfied so adjustments are still being made, but stay tuned...it'll pop up eventually!!!
