We seem to be spending all of our time (and money!) lately working on the yard. It was really bad when we moved into this house and we just put off fixing it since then. Well, this is the year we decided to tackle it. We had the fence extended around the front yard, had a concrete patio poured on the side and along the back, dug up shrubs and are putting in flower, herb and veggie gardens. Phew! Bit off a lot this year and so far the progress is slow. Made worse by the renegade squirrel that is eating all of our stuff!
The new little rock garden that we put in to deal with an awkward slope in the front yard. We planted a beautiful new rose bush with tons of buds just waiting to open. Damn squirrel ate them all off! And destroyed the only bloom on it. Grrrr!
Xander running on the new patio. Hard, cold concrete? Maybe. But I see it as a blank canvas, just waiting to be filled in with color!
Xander loves digging in the dirt. I hope he will learn to stay out when I put the plants in here. I am going to try to keep a place for him to dig somewhere in the yard. I know that the sandbox won't be good enough. He loves to look for rocks and bugs - but then what kid doesn't?
Getting ready to kick back in a sunny spot. When Chris took him out for the first time onto the patio, he looked down at it and declared "sidewalk chalk right there!" He apparently sees it as a blank canvas, too!
