That’s the smell of progress, my friend. And maybe a little tree pollen. Any one else feeling the allergies? Ick!

But back to the progress… even during Fourth of July week, we got ourselves a new fence! Gone is the nasty red, falling down back fence. It’s been replaced with a lovely fresh, white, and most importantly- sturdy fence!

It now matches our fence on the right side of the yard and makes such an impact when you walk into our yard from the driveway (despite the big gaping pool pit).

I especially love the view from inside the house looking out our french doors. It’s so much cleaner to see the white from our kitchen and sun porch. I excitedly anticipate that view getting better and better with every bit of progress we make on this yard!
