I was almost caught up a few months ago and then September, October came and went and then November started.... so my goal is to just keep plugging away!
This is our summer. Its been rewarding and busy.
We moved in to a beautiful home and the yard was a fresh sheet of canvas ready for us to do what we want to it. We planted fruit trees, 6 to be exact. Then we planted grass seed. Now we are just finishing the garden boxes.
The rest of the yard had all of 3 trees in it. No plants or anything. Abby helped me pick some out. And we transplanted lots from people we know. (really there isn't much reason to buy plants when you can get starts from friends and my in-laws!) We started first in the walk out basement because it has some major erosion going on. A friend called and said they were getting rid of 9 perfectly good bushes next to her house. UMMM.... yes we will take them! and slowly over the summer we added more and more things. I just bought and planted 225 bulbs from Holland. Spring will be amazing here! and... we didn't have to rake this year! Next year will be different. We bought 8 trees- big trees- and planted them. So in 30 years I can sit in a hammock in the shade. Im sure glad I had Darren around to help me plant them all!
This was one of our first projects. We are more computer people and not so much TV people. So we had a desk built in to the home. We love it. I love having the two computers together so kids can do homework and the lighting is nice.
Darren also built the kids two lego tables. He did such a good job. One is for standing and the other you can sit at with our chairs.
