Stone Wall

When we first bought our land with the barn , there was a large pile of rocks "holding up" the barn in the back and a big pile of dirt making a hill. Last year because of Jeffrey's graduation, we commissioned C.J. to build us a nice stone wall in the back. The wall is massive and it is 2-tiered. When the wall was finished, my dad planted it just in time for graduation. This is picture of how it looks this year.
This year, Kristin graduted and we asked C.J. to complete another project, another 2-tiered stone wall. It looks beautiful. It is not planted yet because we are moving the strawberries to the lower tier (after they finish bearing), and we're putting bushes along the top tier.

The most impressive part of this wall is the stairs that C.J. put in. We used to climb the dirt hill and get dirt in our shoes. It is no easy task to put in stairs and find flat stones. But we are quite impressed and are now the envy of the neighbors! Thanks C.J.
