Backyard In Progress

First of all, let me thank each of you for the kind comments on my first two posts!  I think I am going to like blogging and meeting new friends!  However, I do wonder what in the world I have to say that someone would be interested in.  But then I remember all of the blogs I read and how very different they all are and I love them all!

I'd like to share some pictures of our backyard.  It is still a work in progress.  We had a swimming pool but last year my husband FINALLY talked me into getting rid of it.  So we hired a company to dig it out and fill it in with dirt.  

This is our beloved Charlie wondering what happened to the pool!!  Charlie passed away last September.

We then moved the little yellow pool house back about 12 feet towards the back of our yard and my son laid a brick patio for me right in front of the pool house.  

We also put in a spa with a gazebo and just got a lot of plants.  

Here's Peter the Rabbit amid my lavender.  I love when I brush up against the lavender on a cool evening.  It. smells. wonderful.

The bad thing is that parts of California (our part!) are on water rationing so our lawn looks terrible in the backyard!  I hate having to ration water!  Those of you that have an abundance of it, be very thankful!

I still have a lot of stuff to do in the yard but as you know, it takes time AND money!!  

Thank you for visiting Yellow Beach Dog today!  On Sunday evening, I will be announcing my first giveaway!  I'm excited!!
