And the Results are in...

Everything is finished! We had a huge list of to-do items before the snow came and we made it with 24 hours to spare. There are now trees in our yard. Yeah! We transplanted 13 trees from our neighbor's house and parent's. We even hauled off a 20 feet Mountain Ash. Go ahead. Imagine Dan and I maneuvering that bad boy down the road. And yes, some are merely sticks. As Koen and Daradie said while helping us, "But Mom, I thought we were going to plant trees. These are sticks!" Faith is like a seed children. I can finally look out our front window with satisfaction and pride. Love the front yard. Just pray that they will survive the transplant. We put up Christmas lights. Dan does not like putting them up in the snow and ice. Dan is great at putting up lights. Our rule is, no Christmas lights until birthdays are done. We have a pretty big raspberry patch. Plus, "Peck's Pumpkin Patch" that will be up and running next September. And the grand finale...
this is what 550 feet of hoses look like all wrapped up and ready for winter storage.
