May 10, 2014: The backyard re-landscaping project has begun! We’re ready to take back the flower beds, get stuff planted, and stop the erosion.  Justin came over and helped with the dry creek bed, like the good ol’ days! Elliott stopped by as well, cut up a tree and took the wood like the lumberjack he is.   Jen has done hours of research on the plants; what to plant, where to plant them, where to get them, what’s native, what’s mosquito repellant, etc. etc. etc.  She’s incredible.
