On August 10th, we had the chance to go downtown Ogden and watch the first stage of the Tour of Utah bike race. We had a chance to see the start and see some of our favorite riders. There were several international riders, but we had the chance to see two of our most favorite riders: Levi Leipheimer from California, and George Hincapie from South Carolina.
This is Levi holding the Flag as he's being photographed with fans.
This is George Hincapie (in the white sunglasses) as he's going to sign in before the race.
We kind of put little orange flags to give us some idea of how it would look with a kidney shape under the tree in the front yard.
We expanded the flower bed under the bedroom window because we want to plant a Japanese Weeping Lace Maple next Spring with more flowers to compliment it. You can kind of see where the old bed ended. We've moved the water splash guard.
This is the new kidney shaped curbing in the front yard. We still need to remove the remaining grasses and then put in top soil and flowers next Spring. Across the sidewalk, you can kind of see the other ring we will eventually fill with a new tree. But not this year. Or next either.
Here is a photo of the side garden before the curbing was installed.
Here is the tree in the back yard with a paint ring before the curbing.
