We Blog!

After years of holding back we have finally decided to Blog! So here is our first attempt. We were enjoying a nice Sunday dinner in the backyard today (I love 80 degree weather in March) so I decided to take some pictures. We have been working really hard the last week to get our yard the way we've always wanted it to be. We have planted, weeded, moved, chopped, trimmed, fed, etc. all week long. Yesterday, Christopher got up in the tree with a brand new chain saw and went to work thinning it out a little and taking it out of the neighbors electrical wires. A friend encouraged him to try it without requesting the power company turn off those wires. I asked what he (the friend) would do if I lost my husband on the off chance that no harm happened (husband, chainsaw, tree, powerlines, not a good mix). He offered his 21 year-old son who is currently serving a mission as a replacement. Luckily Christopher is safe and Andrew is off the hook. The yard looks great! The sandbox is ready for play. We've got a big new rectangular patio table that actually seats all of us, as opposed to the small round one that didn't. Some of the plants are in the ground, others will be planted soon. We've started the lettuce, broccoli, lavender, chives, basil, and cilantro. We started our garlic in december. We also have a plethera of blooms from daffodil, lily, tulip, croccus, and muscari. We are so excited for spring!
