Farmer's Tans

This summer we have been hard at work in our yard. First we weeded EVERYTHING (it doesn't sound very daunting, but we have flower beds that border all around the house and all around our property line). NOTE TO SELF: What was I thinking when we landscaped the yard??? I would go out during the day (while Lily was asleep) and weed for about an hour. Then after the kids went to bed at night we would go out and weed for another 1 1/2 hours. I am on my 3rd pair of weeding gloves! (disregard the wood in the middle of the grass). Then came the mulch. To date we have unloaded TWELVE, yes that is 12, truckloads of mulch into our beds and our garden. Next was the garden. Oh how I love my garden. Probably because I'm already picking basil and rosemary from it.

After the garden came the rock steps. Kent decided they were too close to the rock wall and so he moved them. Then we landscaped them and added mulch. My FAVORITE thing about the rock steps is that there is a little path leading away from the steps into our strawberry patch. That Man of mine! He works miracles!And currently Kent is working on the deck. Remember the deck? It was made out of TREX. The wood that you will never have to take care of. Well, there was one lot of TREX that was recalled (the wood is breaking apart) and now we get to replace it. I say we, I really mean Kent.So when you see us next time and you notice that we have great farmer's tans, you'll know why. I'm sure Kent is looking forward to Winter!
