Landscape... done!

The landscapers finished up on Friday.  Everything turned out really nice!  They left us with two Blue Spruce and 18 Blue Carpet Juniper to plant ourselves; we spent Saturday afternoon getting that done.  The Blue Spruce were a bit larger than we anticipated - but we got em planted!  We should have worn long sleeves, as both Hubby and I have scratched up arms - those blue spruce are pretty darn prickly!

The sprinkler system is going to start being installed on Monday and then we can get grass in... I can't wait!

Digging the second hole... this slope (front yard) is the only area on
our property that is clay.  Made for some tedious digging!
