Sod Placed Outside and Painting Complete Inside

Yesterday the sod was laid in the yard and we gained a few more bushes in the rock along the house as well as a maple tree in the front yard.  It is suppose to snow today, so clearing of the rest of the backyard is on hold until they are able to move around back there again.  The grass is covered with frost which is just another sign of the impending snow in the forecast up here.  We had a special treat driving the girls to school today as we were following a hot air balloon.  You can see is off the side behind the house in this picture:

In this shot you can see our new little maple tree off to the side near the dumpster that is still in place:

Work is on hold for a few days to the unfinished part of the yard near the road.   The rest of it will be cleared and mulch placed until next spring/summer when we will do some more work down there.

These three pictures are taken from the living room window down to show the yard work so far.  The areas of black dirt off to each side are where the birch trees will be planted in the spring.  The wide open area along the road will also receive two birch trees there as well and some ground plantings next year.

Paint finishing was also done on the inside of the house yesterday and our bedroom wall was finally painted.  Everything looks great from a paint perspective at this point.
