Before and after backyard

It was a loooong summer, according to our yard.  Since we had a truck drive through our yard and I was on bedrest it took a long time to get our yard back.  Hopefully next year we'll just use our summer beautifying our yard instead of rebuilding it.   

BEFORE
The destruction of the sandbox and the swingset in the background.  
AFTER
We got nice new sand to replace the old sand that had splinters in it, and Richard built these half fences around it. 

We threw out the pretzel that was our old swingset and the Oviatts kindly gave us theirs when they moved.  We would rather have cousins to play with, but the kids have spent hours and hours on their new swingset.  We sure appreciate it!   


Not pictured is the chicken coup that Richard rebuilt.  Richard also spent a lot of time cleaning up the mess of the fence wreck, and building a new back and side fence.  It was a busy summer getting everything back in place.  Glad it's over and thankful for all the help we received!
