The backyard is taking shape…and it feels like I won the lottery. ✨
The yard got a major overhaul thanks to Hill Farms Excavation, and let me tell you—this is a GAME CHANGER for our little venue.
This has been on 403’s vision board for FOUR YEARS.
I love dreaming up something new, and I really love seeing a project finished. It’s the middle where I struggle. I get discouraged, wander off course, question the plan…and sometimes lose sight of what I was working toward in the first place.
But I’m learning to be thankful for the middle, too.
Because it’s in the waiting, the changing plans, and even the “detours” that God brings things together right on time.
This feels like a fresh wind for 403—and wouldn’t you know, it’s happening right on time. 😉
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on one side of the yard, with a couple of friends stopping by to lend a hand along the way. The little orange truck, aka “the Cutie,” has been burning up the road hauling mulch, mulch, and more mulch.
This is only the first step in creating a beautiful outdoor space where you’ll be able to gather, celebrate, shower a bride or mama-to-be, enjoy a birthday, host an outdoor dining experience, and maybe even watch someone say “I do.” 🤍
And it’s just getting started…
Privacy + lighting are up next. ✨
There’s still plenty of “middle” ahead—I’m just grateful to see another step toward what this backyard is becoming and all the ways it will one day be enjoyed by you!
