The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the world as we know it. Self-Isolation has become the new norm as well as the new catch phrase. Being cooped up at home for our safety as well as those of others have brought out the handyman/gardener in many of us.
We've been slowly making changes in the front yard with still quite a way to go. It didn't take us long to figure out that Chacho has a hard time walking amongst all the rocks, so we cleared out a little space in the front and laid sod. It's just two little sections - 4ft x 10ft, but it should be enough to make him happy.
I've spent some time making a little cactus garden out front as well and that will continue into next year as I expand it. We're also laying gravel outside out front wall to replace the dirt and weeds. We've gotten a little less than half of it done and plan on finishing it this month. I just finished pruning the roses and Dave has been doing maintenance on the pillars out front. A few more large projects this Spring and we'll be ready to enjoy our summer.
Of course, Bella, Luna and Chacho have been right in the middle of things.

Before and After of outside our wall.
I'll continue posting after pictures as we complete more.
Next up will be interior shots. We love our house and have enjoyed making it ours!
