The "5-year" plan

When we moved into our house in 2005, we had agreed that it was a 5 year plan. In five years, the house would be painted and landscaped to our tastes. It would be done...

It's 2011.
The projects are never-ending, we have a dirt mound in our driveway the size of a suburban, It's dark out and we're still working... hit it.

Tree ring... check

This morning my project was to create a "tree ring".  I dug up the bricks from the backyard around the tree near our pond.  Now... that whole area has to be re-done.  See what me mean?  Always, more projects to be done.  I loaded the bricks in the wheelbarrow... rolled them to the front yard and put them in place.   Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinking.  I should have dug a trench first so they don't "go ugly". BUT we have these massive tree roots just below the surface and I didn't want to try to dig through them or injure them; so I decided to gamble a bit.  It turned out nice.  I'm pleased. how it looks.
Note:  the cobble stones to the right of the fence.
