Backyard Blues

The last few weekends we've been clearing out the back yard and making room to install a new fence. It's been so much more work than we thought. There was ivy everywhere and we can only dispose of our yard waste once every two weeks, so we have to hold on to all the waste before we can get rid of it. There were so many rocks and dead plants back there that at the very least, it just needed some TLC.

Then yesterday we stained all the fencing that we bought at Lowe's the week before. Bonus: Rob bought a paint sprayer on CraigsList, which made it so much easier.

Below are some pictures of the yard, fencing, etc.
