Landscaping project

On Sunday, quite a crew gathered to plant the front-yard area at Mom's house. First off, kudos to Ryan for (1) overseeing the concrete-curbing installation and (2) leveling the ground and placing new sod over the rest of the old spruce patch. It looks great! (Ryan had to forego the planting for Guard duty.)

The planting crew consisted of Ben and Jake (nice prep work, too); Jen and Molly (they got along pretty well); Marc and Jan (they got along pretty well, too); Mary and Madison (joined at the hip, I think); and Connie (batting cleanup). Charlie Rice helped with some of the early weed work, and Mike Hollern donated and delivered the rock.

All in all, it was a great early birthday installation. Great work!

As a kid I never realized that this was the front door to the house because we always went through the back entrance. It's great to actually see the whole front of the house now, I can hardly even remember what the old pine looked like because this looks so perfect.
