Hello! I’m back.
It’s been about two years, so sorry. Hope you weren’t
holding your breath for the next installment, that can’t be pretty. Here is the
biggest thing that has taken place in our little universe since I have been
away. We renovated the front yard! It is spectacular. It is now a
place to entertain, relax and live our lives in the warm California sun. All of
this was made possible by the great people at Finnamex Landscape. You may
remember their beautiful showplace event space where Terry and I were married.
This is our house in Cypress CA as it looked before we started
work on the yard.

| This is the view from the front door while the city was replacing telephone poles on our street last year. |
You may notice that most of the pictures are in
overcast light because from the moment the work started California has had
the wettest year in a very long time, the drought is all but over in large parts of
the state, and that does not make for optimal construction environments.
Finnamex Landscape worked very hard to keep the mess to a minimum (so much mud appears when water is added to freshly tilled dirt ... who knew!? hahahaha) and kept the pace going as fast as the weather would
allow.
 |
| We had this cool port-a-potty in front of our house for about four months and many of our neighbors were caught coming out of it. Hahahahaaa! |
This is what our front yard looks like now … wow!
 |
| Fresh rosemary any day I want it! I have already made rosemary pork chops and rosemary sourdough is next on the list. |
 |
| This is the same view as the first picture of our yard. I'm still so surprised at the amount of space we had just sitting out there covered in weeds. |
 |
| Can't get enough of these scones we put on the garage, so simple but so chic. |
We also had some improvements made to the back yard. We now
have a lush manicured pool area.
This summer is going to be a fun one with our new yard and
sunny days ahead. Talk to you later!
