Brand New Patio

I know, I know... it's been far too long. Sorry folks, life has been busy! My marathon training has taken up a lot of time (more on that tomorrow) and in our spare time, Mike and I have been working in the yard a lot. Ready to see the fruits of our labor? Keep in mind that it's still a work in progress. Here's what the patio looked like before:

Patio Before

Drumroll please....

Patio After

Keep in mind it's seriously still a work in progress - like there won't be electrical cords running to the waterfall (there will be a switch at the house). Nor will there be sand all over the tiles - we've got that on there to fill in the gaps as it settles. We got new furniture for it as well - nice wrought iron that is easy to hose off when the oak trees decide to do their thing (pollen, leaves, etc).

Did I mention that I have a working waterfall in my backyard?!

Our Waterfall!!!

I love it. All of the rocks are from our property and I plan on planting all sorts of pretty things around it to grow. We're aiming for the "jungle" look - like it's wild. I can't wait!

Ok, I promise better updates... four more days until the marathon!!!
