More Sunsets to remember and spring has sprung!

HI All - sorry for the delay in posts. There's LOTS of color both inside the house and out. We've been doing a LOT of painting (pix yet to be taken of that) and mother nature is doing her thing outside, here are some pics of her work.

Since we had some significant rain last week, the wildflowers we planted back in November are starting to pop up . . .






. . . and the Sunsets continue to impress . . .

one year later, we still love our house, but it pales in comparison to this . . .

updated pics of backyard

Hi all - here are a couple new pics - some plants are in and the outdoor bar is almost done . . .

FIRE!

The firepit is now operational! Now we could use some cooler weather

landscaping continued, sod, but no plants yet (too hot)

Irrigation and sod have been installed, plants are due in a couple weeks. Fire pit has been completed from the outside, but still waiting on the fire glass and fire ring for the inside. Here are random pics . . .

Pool update - we have water!

The pool portion of our backyard project is complete - landscaping begins this week, here are pics:
