The shed has arrived!

These pictures pretty much tell the entire story! :)

The color of the last one is a little off - the first picture is a better idea of what the real color is - I took the second one to give you a better idea of where it is in relationship to our deck and what the size is... but I took it after the sun had set so it came out a little funny.

Happy Mother's Day!

My weekend project ~ flower bed #1

It started out with random tall green leafy plants... randomly placed in the old mulched flower bed around our light post.

First steps - transplant the plants into some kind of pattern,

and clear the old mulch.

Oh yeah, and weed.

Then I added the new mulch.

Next came the flowers - yay!

Ta-Da! Finished product!

Bill's weekend project was changing the brakes - and yes, I actually took a picture of that too -

we really needed new brake pads and I'm forever grateful to my husband who saves us a boatload of money by changing them himself! :)

He's also busy on a woodworking project (thanks in part to a new jig saw) but I'm not allowed to tell you what it is! :)

That's all for now - I'm going back to the basement to stay cool!

Today's pictures

Okay... so my gardening isn't done yet, so I don't want to reveal those pictures...

Which is a good thing... because Blogger is being weird and won't let me upload anything at the moment....

Hmmm...

I'll try again tomorrow!

Holy Moly

These last few weeks have been crazy! We are finally enjoying a lazy Saturday morning, and getting ready to complete some yard projects this afternoon. I had two projects due on Thursday for my grad class, and the technology was not being my friend, which made it even more stressful... anyway, I'm planning on taking pictures of our progress this afternoon and then blogging again this evening.

Sorry if you've been waiting for some updates - I promise some pictures are coming soon!!!
