Two Days In....

Thursday morning we broke ground on our landscaping project. I love anything to do with homes (especially before and afters) I am pretty excited about this project!

We signed all the papers on St. Patty's Day...and the little Caterpillar and the large Caterpillar arrived Thursday and started moving the earth around in order to "shape" the back yard.
Stage 1

Our yard in its "natural" state:
With a little bit of this...

and that....

Caterpillar smoothed it out:
Rocky, Claudia, and Don discussing big plans:
On Friday came the arrival of half of our boulders in a dump truck. The boys and I had fun watching Don arrive....lift the flaps...raise the bed...and BOOM! Then he would leave to go to the mountains for more...the biggest boulder that landed shook our whole house! They projected 14 loads of boulders.
Arrival of the first load:
Arrival of the fifth or so load:

I like the yellow tractor hiding in the brush in the first pic. What are the boulders for? I can't wait to see how it looks after its done!
