officially holding my breath

The backyard is nearly done - just clean up duty left. For those of you pitiable souls who had to listen to our initial plan for the backyard, you'll notice this isn't it.

Instead of two large planters running on either side (which would have served as seating too) they've squared off 4 beds for planting. Clearly this was done to save time. And no one consulted us. But such is life.

It's exciting to have it nearly done and once they get the garbage out of there we can consider exactly what we want to plant next year. And what we'll be sitting on...
