History Continued...

But all good things usually come to an end. The kids were all finished school and I really felt that our 4 bedroom home was calling out for a young family to come and live in it. So we put it up for sale and that era in our lives came to an end.

The next house was something else. We bought it for an investment - it was a beautiful home inside (2 years old) but the outside was the saddest thing you ever saw. We wanted to redo the whole yard to make it as spectacular as the inside of the house was. The people who had built this place put all their money on the inside - which meant there wasn't anything left for doing the landscaping.

The front steps weren't even painted. We did get that much done and also Tim worked and worked on the back yard. The people in the neighbourhood would walk by on weekend while he was working and tell him how beautiful it looked.

These pictures were taken when we first moved in. The house had 4 porches on it. It really was something else. As beautiful as it was I never really felt like it was me so I wasn't sad when we sold it and moved. The big disappointment was that we never got the whole yard finished. Tim was well on his way to making it a very special yard.

Here are a few pictures taken when it was in process..

So now we have a new project.. We can hardly wait till the weather changes and we can get out in the yard. We will do this one as a team.. I don't do the building part but I am definitely going to be involved with all the yard work.
