The boys (my Hubby, Dad and some workers from my company and Andy's company) have been working in the yard here and there ... today they got serious!
Mom and I had pulled all the weeds and planted some "green" along the pool then added some concrete scallops around it. The boys had been working on the sprinkler system and removing of some large plants and such. We (they) added another retain wall to the yard to cut out the SLOPE of it. Now we have a retaining wall and a Sea Wall. Here are the before and afters ...
Whatcha Think?!
Front Yard when we first bought it!
Weeds and over grown bushes
Notice all the grass in the beds and weeds!
After - Weeds all gone - all we need now is MULCH!
Back yard - BEFORE 
Back Yard - before - look at the beds
After - Added some plants and cut all the others back & Mulch!

Wow! I remember some of the pictures from when you first bought the house. It is turning out great!
WOW! BEAUTIFUL!!!
lookin' good, girl! great pics!
Gee, I can't really tell...maybe I should come down there and see for myself how it looks...you know, so that I can give you an honest opinion. I don't take up much room and would bring my own Oreos to munch on while I sat at the pool and pondered the whole thing...
Your house looks great. I wish I lived in a warmer climate, Ohio weather is so unpredictable!
Thanks for the kind words and advice about my appointment yesterday. My family told me to do the same thing and to call my doctor and ask to speak to him. He had an emergency yesterday so that's why I wasn't able to see him, I understand that happens in his business...BUT the nurse was a complete WITCH.
Congrats on your scheduled c-section, it's excited when you know the date and you are able to plan around everything.
Lookin good!
Your yard looks AWESOME!! Love your view from the back. There is nothing better than being on a body of water! Look forward to seeing pics of the house! Good luck with the move!
