Maple

In our continued effort to spruce up our landscaping, last fall we purchased a pretty new maple tree for our front yard. At the time we just dug out a random plot of dirt around the tree in anticipation of turning it into something more in the spring. But it was quite an eyesore and the soil started eroding every time it rained. When the weather finally started to cooperate we headed back outside to fix it up. It took us a few weeks and one can of spray paint to finally make a decision, but the new area has now been connected to an original landscaped area - made possible by the removal of two large burning bushes that looked awkward at the end of the walkway. Now we just have to do a little more planting and this part of the yard will be complete.

And Noah was a big help as usual getting out all of his shovels and buckets to help Daddy.

Wyatt chilled in his stroller taking notes for later when he can help Daddy too.
