More landscaping!



Nobody said it would be easy, but we did it! We've successfully landscaped our side yard and planted a strip of grass. We continue to be surprised and happy about the outcome of our rookie landscaping and our own blood, sweat and tears.

So good story- as a deer prevention, I found some coyote urine granuals to sprinkle around the new plantings. I had almost completed the whole section when Vil turns around and says "what is that behind you?" I turned around and low and behold.. was a coyote. We hadn't seen one since last summer. He ducked into the woods and returned 3 times before V threw a rock near him to scare him off. No doubt, he was interested in finding out if a new pack had moved in. Last night we watched a buck stroll over to our new plants and decide they weren't for dinner- mission accomplished (for now)!
