In the winter, we had our backyard levelled.

This is what our backyard looks like right now (one tree).

Rome’s sister was trained as an architect and put together this plan for us.  We like it so we’re going for it.

Looking at the plan, I figured we were on a 3-5 year plan for filling this in.  We were going to start the grass with seed, but we’re running into summer so we’ll probably lay sod.

The veggies went in last weekend.  And on Sunday, we bought this. ( I figured this was one of the year 3 items.  I was wrong.)  Both of us are a little leary of formed ponds, because so often the final product looks bad, but we figure knowing that at least gives us an advantage in figuring how deep to put it and how to fill it in with rocks.

Here’s Rome digging the hole for it.  He’s one HARD worker!

I’ll take more pictures as we move forward.
