This post is for James and Kerry, but I put it on here to show you all. Last March Kerry and James helped us build our round pen. Something was mentioned about our lawn (I don't remember exactly what) and James couldn't picture this place without complete dirt. :) Also last year, Denny and Steve helped build a tack shed. (I believe then it was complete dirt as well.) My parents helped plant the lawn from seed & plant some trees. They also helped with the sprinkler system. Others helped put in the corrals and arena. This year we've planted more trees, flowers, bushes, and are thankful we've got grass growing on our alkali patch! (We have an excellent supply of horse manure!) We are so thankful for our helpful friends! It is not a dream yard yet, but we are getting there, but it has been cheap. For example, I paid $5 for my trees! Gotta love clearance items! Next year the lawn probably won't be so patchy, we will have a bigger garden, the girl's play area will have more gravel, and maybe our trees will grow. But that's for a post in 12 months from now. :) Oh can I be that patient!?
It went from THIS-----
