This past weekend, my dad and I made a lot of progress in the back! we started by weeding the immediate area and getting rid of the big pile of rotting leaves behind the shed (which isnt visible in either picture lol). We lined the graves with spare bricks and also spread some grass seed in the area so hopefully that takes and doesn't look so dead back there (pun not intended) soon.

My grammom had some trouble getting back there since the ground was pretty uneven, so we decided to level the ground a bit as well as add some extra stepping stones we had laying around as a path. She also suggested putting a bench back there, which I think could look really nice, so we need to go find one now.

We discussed maybe filling the path in with crushed stone, or transplanting some moss (lord knows we have plenty in our yard) in the gaps. It's a tad rough right now, but it's starting to come together. Proud of what we've done so far.

shortly after we buried Chip vs now
