The final paver has been laid. Charl tapped into his creative side for this one. At the last house he did a big rectangle, but we had endless possibilites in this space. Charl wanted to make the patio have curves to it which is tricky when you are working with square blocks. SO, this is what we call our cool, funky patio. Now we need to landscape around the patio, but that may need to wait until next year. It's amazing how much things like dirt, rocks, and sand cost! Thanks Charl for all your hard work. It looks AWESOME!

House on Honeydew
We moved into our new home on August 23, 2007. This is what it looked like then. Yardwork, here we come!!! 
We have grass and "The Great Wall of China", too. The kids think this is a perfect balance beam. So far, there have been no deductions for falling off the apparatus.
Charl really wanted this tree: a Forest Pansy (redbud). We also planted a peach tree.
My first garden. We planted tomatoes, squash, watermelon, broccoli, canteloupe. Unfortunately, it looks like only the tomatoes are going to work out. It's been a learning experience and maybe we'll do better next year.
Yes, Charl is creating another paver patio. This is still a work in progress, hoped to be completed soon. This sleek patio will double as a basketball court.
