This yard project has taken a lot of time and hard work. Most of the hard work was done by Dad, the waiting has been embraced by all of us. These pictures show a portion of our labor, but the green is worth it!
Thanks Dad, for giving us the color we need in our lives!
A portion of the garbage and junk in our yard
Laying the sprinkler system down in July 115 degrees
More leveling
(Like our kid labor??!?!?)
Even the little ones helped out
Cool addition to our patio area
(One day it will be home to a grill and eating area...)
Everyone plants seeds in the garden
Hey mom, look, I've got a shovel!
Even the shadows are working
Too bad we worked in the blazing sun most of the time!
Raking up the rocks
Grass seed
Tufts of green that should (fingers crossed and prayers being said) spread and become a beautiful green yard...
On the left you can kind of see the pathway Dad laid (very cool)...
And food growing in the garden!

I loved being there as the green came through. You're right... it's not easy to be green in an arid place! Thanks Bob, Dresden, kids and shadows for making your little spot in El Paso green!
That is fabulous. Lots of hard work, but looks so wonderful to enjoy.
Looks like a wonderful yard!!
The green is beautiful and we also hope it spreads throughout the yard. The garden looks pretty good too. Don't know what happened yesterday but I am glad I can comment. Love and miss you all.
Good luck with the yard, it's looking good!
I love the patio too.
