The Dirt on the House

So I was errant this week and took almost no photos. We went to school, made Christmas treats, ate Chinese food, and pretty much just lived. Even the new house didn't have too much going on.

Here's me walking up to it to check it out. They back filled the dirt up to the edges of the concrete and that was about all. Our front yard looks as though it will be slightly smaller than an international postage stamp, but we should be able to eke out some garden space in the back. Any landscaping ideas or tips you have are welcome!
