catching up...

a friend of ours bought the house next to them...
and it has to be torn down...
but she called and asked me if I wanted this...
what do you think I said???
we will have to wait until it dries up a bit before we can move it...

yesterday, the seed pods started falling off the tree in the side yard along with the fuzzy pods from the cotton wood/ popular...
have you ever used a shop vac in your flower beds?
well, I think I am going to try...

and we have worked the last couple of weekends around here...
just waiting for warmer, dryer weather to start painting the deck and steps...
look at all the pods!
and we just had this all cleaned up...

everything is just waiting for the time to plant the annuals...

and we are talking about paving this area....
we will get the pavers on sale this fall...
cover this area through the winter to kill the grass...
and then start on it after the spring rains are done next year...

so, what are your plans for the outside this year?
we still have fence posts to put in on the other side and a few more panels to make...
in the meanwhile, we need to figure out a place to put the little foot bridge...
maybe I will google it and see what others have done with theirs...
I am thinking a pear tree would look with it...

the sun has peeked out a few times, but its hiding now...
and its still cold, but should be so much nicer tomorrow and the rest of the week...
come on over if you want to play in the dirt this weekend!
