For the last couple of years I have had a barren, desolate, and sometimes weed infested side yard on the north side of my house. No more! I've been working for the past week or so to landscape it nicely by adding a decorative fence and some retaining walls. Pics of the work can be seen here.
I've had several people in the neighborhood come by when I've been out working and tell me how nice they think it looks. Even though I wish I'd bought this other house I had looked at for the prestige and valuation, I have to admit that I picked a pretty darned nice neighborhood. Most of the people are friendly, my neighbor across the street has helped me on quite a few projects, my neighbor to the north cuts my hair (and does a good job), I can walk to the grocery store, work is 5 minutes away, Home Depot is 5 minutes away. So why can't I get happy with my house?

You have worked very hard and the yard is looking awesome!
Sometimes it's hard to find happiness with what we have when we continually dwell on what we wish we had. I should know. I guess the secret is trying to always find the good/blessings in what we have and then hopefully the contentment will follow.
Keep up the hard work. I'm proud of what you've accomplished so far with your house!
