| Another picture of the massive dirt pile. But not to worry, the dumpster will be here soon. |
 |
| A picture of a new bed that was dug today. What you see is a stepping stone area that will have creeping thyme. When stepped on, it emits a lemony fragrance. just to the right of that area is our raised butterfly garden. The bed behind the cobble stones will hold lavender, which will have a lovely fragrance when you walk past it. |
 |
| Here comes the dumpster. Sunday we will move sod from the driveway into the dumpster. It will be the first time in 4 years we have not had a dirt pile. |
 |
| This is the start of the berm. |
 |
| A little farther into the day after we have moved about 3 yards of dirt. We had a total of 6 delivered for this area. |
 |
| The berm is complete. It is almost time for the install. Most of the plants are in place, but we're still waiting for some grasses and fall flowers. Later this year, we'll come back through and plant spring bulbs. |

 |
| Finally done. We added the rock border around edges and planting areas. |
 |
| Another planting area. This one contains hens and chicks. |

WHAT A DAY TODAY WAS.
We are exhausted. We got the berm completely done today. Our newest project gave us two new beds, the "pine garden" and the "pathway". It is unbelievable that this project was completed in just over 24hours. We built, bought and installed in a matter of 30 hours! We had many a passerby today stop and tell us that it looked nice. I was relieved, it was my first time i had landscaped anything since landscaping school. I guess the professional landscaping course finally paid off.. Tomorrow is another long day of moving sod, but this time from the driveway into the dumpster. There is still a lot of work to be done here from more planting to mulching, but it is 90% done! HOORAY for our first spring project.
