Front yard falling over the back retaining wall?

Living in Florida
Well, it's been a year and 4 months since we moved into our house; it's been 3 years and a month since moving to Florida. I'm still working on the house, of course. We've painted the whole thing inside and out now. Work on the yard goes on . . . and on and on.

We're finding time to play sometime.

 

We went to an art festival and enjoyed the Florida sunshine. I saw lots of items that I would love to have decorating my house, but I'm not quite there yet.

 

These wire and glass butterflies would look good in my back yard gardens.

 

Ahh, and here are my beautiful children! Having fun down in St. Pete with their mom.

: )

We also went north this summer and canoed down the crystal clear water of the spring-fed Weeki Wachi.

 Takes a lot of effort to paddle a canoe!

 

Got to stay hydrated, you know! We actually had a picnic lunch sitting in the canoe or standing in the clear, shallows at the edge.

 Swimming in the river was refreshing! A constant 74 degrees. Super hot out of the water and wonderfully cool in it.

We really did have a ball. It was my birthday present to myself.

Back to the Yard
I finally did get the mulch pile down to a manageable size, and weeded the front walk flower beds. This weekend the kids and I will go to work on the second retaining wall and cut the grass. I'll put up the before and after pics this weekend.
