Now who doesn't like the smell of pine?

We might have one too many pine trees in our new backyard (we're talking like 12 trees), but we sure love the all-day shade they provide and the smell of pine. It's like our own little forest. It will be a work in progress, but we want to add a small waterfall and stream in the back end of the yard, extend the deck and improve the landscaping. We also need to clear out the garden for next spring...lots of branches and debris to clear out. Maybe next year we can build a playhouse for the girls too...We are loving being able to spend some time outside in a fenced and shaded backyard. No worries about bad golf swings or dust storms or Addyson escaping out to the front yard. The view of the mountains is breathtaking here. Relaxing and refreshing...

Your yard looks awesome! I am jealous--we went house-hunting tonight and were less than enthused with our options. We may just stay in Eagle Mountain afterall. Come back and visit!

Your backyard looks awesome. I would love to be away from the bad golf-swings too. We currently have 1 pane broken in a 2-paned window on our lower-level that I refuse to fix until the other one is broken!
