The birth of a vision... 🦋

So, here we are over a month later and we are nearing the finish line.  Not quite there yet.  It won't be over until the lawn is hydroseeded, but we had to postpone that because of the dang blasted sprinkler system repairs, and now we need to add another zone, which will set us back in getting it done.

Here are some shots of the beautiful pool and landscape.  I'm thrilled with how it turned out.  

I love how the trellis fit so perfectly by the back gate.

So many butterflies and bees have discovered this wonderful oasis.

That little yellow house is a butterfly house. 

A beautiful pool

We added a solar lamp post for charm.

The landscape is delightful.

This area is not fully mulched yet, but I love the stepping stone walkway.

This project was almost all-consuming on my part.  It was mentally challenging and emotionally draining.  I told Darryl it's like giving birth.  You plan, and you wait, and things go wrong, and it's a roller coaster, and at the end there is so much pain, followed by excitement and joy.  

Would I do it again?  No!!  If there is ever a pool project in our future (wherever we live), I'm moving out.  

I will be adding a few more pictures in the near future.
