We spent most of our Sunday this weekend in our new yard. Our yard was in a pretty sad state when we moved in and we tried to work with it, but last month we gave in and decided to have it landscaped. The result is wonderful! I can't wait for the grass to take root so that we can play on it. Elliot's favorite part of the yard is the
rock garden. Which is the former
the pond filled in with pea gravel (after cutting holes in the bottom). I knew that it would make the perfect construction zone - note the orange cones that Elliot set up along the parameter.
Elliot has been a great helper in the yard and this weekend and helped us installed a rain barrel, hang a bird feeder and bird houses, paint and hang some garden art, plant our vegetable garden, and put in solar lights. Beatrice likes the yard too, but she was napping when I brought out the camera.

| Beatrice's Art - Elliot painted the pink and made the white dots, Bea reluctantly let me paint her hands and make hand prints. |
 |
| Elliot's art - He did it all with the exception of the face and body of the butterfly. He described it as " a butterfly in the sun." |

The yard looks so great! I think the construction zone is such a good idea. We (Bismarck) is jealous of your grass.
