Work in the yard

Today while we listened to conference we decided to work in the back yard...we are desperate to have it done...a sanctuary for us to go to to get away from our crazy neighborhood! We have part of the fence done (it's looking great!) and Jeremy made our planters for our square foot garden. So today we went out to arrange everything...it was real easy to imagine how it will be when it is done...now if we can just get it to that point! The girls came out to help...they like digging holes in the backyard! We were only out for about 10 min. and then, like every conference weekend, it started to snow! It was only REALLY lightly snowing but the girls said they were cold and needed to go in for hot chocolate. So we left Jeremy out to work and headed inside!

Here's some pics of Jeremy and the massive roots he has been chopping out of the fence line!

Work on the fence continues...

and continues...and continues (someday we hope to be done with it!) Jeremy and I went out this morning (before it got too hot) and worked on the fence. You can actually start to see how nice it will look once we are finished (whenever that is.) Here some pictures so you can see our progress:

Here's the girls supervising the work (they are actually having their breakfast on the back porch!)

Here's Jeremy hard at work drilling and screwing the boards up to the fence.

Here's the girls and Jeremy standing by the one section we (almost) got done!

The missionaries also came by to help us with some yard work. We tilled up the park strip (this has be bothering Jeremy for quite some time now) and moved some of the dirt to the back. Here's some before and during pictures:
