Yard Work-ROCKS!

We had warm weather again on Saturday, April 28th!  We took advantage of the nice weather and continued working on improving our backyard.  After redoing bark and hazelnut shells almost yearly for the past six years...we have finally decided to pick something that won't need replacing...rocks!  

The previous weekend, April 21st and 22nd, we had warm weather too so we had already begun the improvement process by picking up all the old hazelnut shells and pulling weeds.  This weekend we laid down the black fabric weed barrier and then laid rocks on top.  Each bag of rocks weighed 60lbs.  Our CR-V could only handle ten bags at a time, so we ended up taking four trips to the landscape center and we ended up buying 35 bags for a total of 2,100lbs of rock!  

Isaiah LOVED helping put the rocks on the black. He did a great job putting the rocks in the corner places.  Now he LOVES walking on the rocks every time we take Sophie outside!  It was such a good decision to make this change...we love our "new" backyard!
