I am less pleased with the "landscaping" that was done to our yard today as part of the finishing touches of the leach field job that was done before we bought the house. At least they filled in the hole that was left behind, but there is now an abundant crop of stones instead of any grass and one could barely call the area leveled. My current plan, then, is to use that now-barren corner of yard as the spot for a fire pit. I have already added that to the list of tasks that I want to complete this summer.
Speaking of landscapes, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy at the home and view one of our friends showed us today. They have a truly beautiful place. Still, I'm more than satisfied with our own house that I am happy for their family and can appreciate what they have, but I am still glad we found the place that we did.
