Better late than never - here's pictures of the latest changes to the backyard. We had the gardeners put in most of the bushes and trees, to at least get them all started. From left to right, here's our backyard now. Ignore the frost - these pictures were taken in December.
Phase 2 of the tree commencing. Janna came over and added all the detailing to my plain, boring painted brown, and suddenly we have a tree on our wall. Painting all the leaves is going to take forever, I can see that already. But the nice thing is that it looks gorgeous just as it is and if I time this right, I can have it 'grow' with the seasons.
