Just DH & I are here, one way to get your grown kids outta the house is to up and move on them We still have one kid at the old house, he is now scrambling to find a place to live, not here tho! We have just under one acre here, lots bigger than the city home, but here it is all trees and a pretty steep hillside, so we decided long ago that the back half of the property will remain in its natural state. The 'front yard' it tiny, so thats where we put the flagstone patio and irises/roses. BTW that flagstone is from my old yard. I dug up all the flagstone pathway and took out the pond so I could have a patio here!

This was the front yard before we did the grading and patio

and this one shows where we started doing the grading work.The front yard here is from the house on the right of the pix, to the retaining wall on the left of the pix. I'll have to go snap another pix tomorrow of the completed grading work and iris beds.
