FIVE YEARS DOWN THE TRACK...

In November 2004 we started the journey to bring a baby home from China ... five years later, in October 2009, we met Isobel Pingqin.
Our little livewire known as Izzy.

Our beautiful lawn

To really see how beautiful it is, I have to repost the pictures from start to finished.  It is so green and lush, and weed free.  For now anyway.  I'm sure I'll grow some new weeds an bindi.

 Backyard first
 Out the back when we first started the retaining wall


 Out the back when it was still looking like a dump

 
Retaining wall finished out the back and filled in with clay from the front

 Out the back, weeds in the clay
Out the back before hosing in the filler sand
I haven't taken a photo of it now that it has been rolled and hosed.

And now the front yard

 Digging out the front yard to build retaining walls





 Front yard when last of the clay mountain had been moved


 Base for turf arriving

Now for some plants!
