Before and After - Backyard

I've been wanting to do this for a while and I'm finally getting to the first and I hope to do a few more. I'm having a hard time finding the "before" pictures that I wanted which tells me we need a new system for archiving our pictures as we can't find anything that we are looking for! I did my best so here's a few before and after's of our backyard. When we bought this house we loved the house but were concerned that the backyard was too small for what we wanted to do. Now that it's done, we love it. We love to sit out on the patio for coffee in the morning and use the table area to eat in the early evenings. Our backyard isn't as big as most of our neighbors backyard's but it has everything we want so we are happy!

OMG - YUM!!!

I just have to share my new discovery! I have just discovered the most wonderful liqueur. It is Domaine De Canton Ginger Liqueur and it is sooooo000 good! It's Cognac and a baby ginger infusion with some vanilla, honey, ginseng and mmm mmm mmm is it yummy. You have to really like ginger as it has a very strong ginger flavor. So far I've tried it straight on the rocks which is yummy and in a "Classic Ginger Martini" which is quite delicious! There are several more recipes that came with the bottle and are online as well. Hmmmm, the weekend is coming up and I see some experimentation in my future!!!
