Sure, Janet. Right now we are battling significant drainage issues and fighting incredible amounts of rain which is hindering any progress. There is no landscaping around the house yet which I need to focus on as soon as the drainage trenches are finished. We are doing all of the work ourselves. We want to develop the entire property and our talking about our plans for it. After all, what is the point of having that much land if it isn't used and enjoyed?We too are city folk that have bought our dream property. It has been an incredible amount of work. We consider it a labor of love though and something that will continue to keep us young in body and spirit. We have a two-year old grand daughter with a second on the way, so I liked what you had done for the little ones too. We live just outside of Yosemite National Park in California. How did you handle the landscaping immediately around your house? I am still putting ideas together for that. We have a lot of large granite stones on the property and am trying to incorporate some of that into the design. We also have a hill in the backyard that we want to terrace with retaining walls. I can't wait to see more photos of what you have done! Cheers,Kristie
