WE HAVE SHADE!!

Patrick and I have been in the house for almost a year, and with the wedding and all, we haven't been able to do anything with the backyard until now! On Saturday we ordered some trees and they were delivered and installed yesterday. We have one more being delivered on Thursday, then the main stuff goes in next week - the pavers, grass, everything besides some plants and gardening that we want to do ourselves. It's so exciting!!! Here are some pics:


They're all legal! I checked INS cards on the way in. They only got beer if they were legal :)
The big truck with the goods...
They had to use a jackhammer to get through our touch caliche. Poor guys! It was 113 degrees yesterday!
DONE!
The proud parent :)

And you're probably thinking that this is a funny way to hold such a big dog, but patrick has really mastered it. He carries Charlie like that all the time :)
Stay tuned for more pics as it develops!

Nice! Can't wait to see it with the pavers - it's gonna be great! Then Charlie won't get so dirty all the time. :o) hehe...
