A work in progress....Literally

I don't know where to begin.  Do are start off by thanking my wonderful sister and family for all of their hard work?  Or by showing how far our yard has come?  The past two weeks have flown by, with plenty of progress.  We could never have done as much work that has been done this month without the help of my sister Lynette, and her husband Bruce.  And definitely not to exclude her children, Mike, David, Zach, and Jake.  Dan I am sure would also be there to help, if he weren't serving an LDS mission right now.  And Samantha....had girl things going on.;)  Top picture....we can't forget, was the starting pic a few weeks ago.  

These are our finished grow boxes.  We kept a spot in the top right corner for our strawberries and rhubarb.  Now we need some compost and peat moss and hopefully we can grow stuff from these wonderful boxes. 

While the men were in back working on the garden, Lynette and I (mostly Lynette) were cleaning up the front yard. Top pick was last week, bottom pic was today after Lynette "fluffed" my soil.  We are going to plant a weeping cherry right in the middle. 

Tristan sat inside watching cartoons most of the time.  But Ashton was out digging up weeds and worms.  He loved talking to his Aunt about all the things he sees and what he can do to help. That kid can talk.

Lynette cut down all my rose bushes, and some others that were over grown.  We are going to dig these out, and plant a maple tree in its place.

We are going to dig up this apple tree and replant it at the pic below.  And in the apple trees place, we are going to plant a white pine. 

This rose bush will be removed soon.  It was too much of an annoyance last year.  Today was a very productive day.  Still lots to be done but it feels so great to be making progress.  Thank you so much Adams family!
