Landscaping

We hired a landscape architect to design the plant beds around the house and the barn.  While the process took longer than I expected (we've been working on this since March!)  They are finally putting everything in this week!  It is really starting to take shape at the house... finally!  It's exciting to see it all coming together and have a finished look.

And every single plant has drip irrigation running to it, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to keep anything alive in this sand!

Our resident garter snake...
we've named her Leah,
as Jack says it's probably a girl because they
birth on average 10-40 live babies...
and we would be that lucky!
