Stumped

Our yard has been such a project, and we are getting so much closer to having a wonderful clean slate!  After Michael took a chainsaw to our out of control trees in the backyard, he had someone come over to grind down some of the larger stumps.  I can't even explain how giant our yard is with all the random trees out!  I really think we could fit a pool over by the garage.

A few before shots:
It was so wonderful to tear this down!
This is right before we moved in, the structure being torn down is a Japanese Tea Room.  Doesn't everyone have one of those in their yard?  All that's left of this is the cement slab.

This picture was taken after we had chopped away lots and lots (and lots) of plants and hauled them away.

And this is how the yard looks now:

No more ugly palm!

I really think there is room for a pool!

Can you even tell there used to be giant stump here?

Really, this pictures don't do the yard justice- it looks so much better without all the random plants cluttering it up!  And I'm realizing just how huge the yard is, what are we going to do with all this space?
