Landscape Magic

It was a rough, muddy couple of days, but Kurt and his Landscape Magic wand eventually pulled through (well, 98% of the way). Last week I reported on our landscape project and its kickoff. Well, it kicked off alright. Unfortuantely, in the rain. We can home last Thursday to a holy-mudslide-batman mess. If I'd been warned, I may have been alright with this. But telling an 8 months pregnant lady that you won't start work in the rain, and then changing the game plan without a warning? Not cool. Or safe. Or very professional, right?





Luckily, the following day called for clear skies. So we sat in the house, tried not to look outside, and hoped Kurt would showcase some serious Harry Potter by 6 p.m. Friday. And guess what - he did. We came home to a pretty awesome looking landscape situation. Yeah, we have some issues. But, I would have issues no matter how perfect it was. It's how I am. And we're working on the issues with Mr. Landscape Magic himself.

See the befores here...

Of course, all this needs heaps of TLC, so Will has been moving sprinklers and configuring watering systems for days on end. I love him. And I'm sure lucky he loves me.
