Summer Arrives - June 29, 2009
After a long, wet spring here in Steamboat, summer seems like its finally taken hold. Its warm and dry and green as hell with all the moisture we got this spring.
In news around the homefront, Emily and I are just about complete with a total backyard overhaul that has transformed our formerly sloping, grass-covered space into about 1000 square feet of hardscape complete with a firepit, picnic table, and over 250 new perennial plants, bushes, and trees. Its wonderful!
Here are a few pictures taken with my phone to give you an idea of the magnitude that encompassed this project.
Newly laid flagstone out the back door
New beetle kill picnic table to enjoy a meal with friends
Newly mulched in perennials
Cozy sitting area around our fire pit
Flagstone path around the house - new perennial flower beds on each side
Mega boulders!
