Holiday Memorial Day weekend means extra time to work the garden. The man put the finishing touches on his stone layout, then we were off to purchase a rose bush (Neptune) to add to the blue/purple theme. I was then able to finalize our backyard garden and get plants into the ground.
The kids of course were on-hand to clown around and check out the new plantings.
Once the yard project was done, it was time to take stock of what was blooming…
Started the new backyard garden bed this weekend. Want an upper body workout? Start by digging into wet clay…guaranteed to make you sore within the the first 10 minutes.
Then head over to the home improvement store and haul as many bags of garden soil your car trunk can carry (20 cubic ft in a Hyundai Sonata).
Empty about 42 cubic feet of garden soil, compost and landscapers mix into your new bed…and realize you still need more soil.
After all is said and done, watch your adorably cute furkids clown around in the yard.
With the advent of mild spring weather and as our outdoor activity ramps up, it’s always nice to get the kids outside for some green exposure.
Helping out with watering…
Inspecting the newly installed hardscaping and mowed lawn…
Transplanting the japanese maple in its 65 gallon grow pot…
After running through the shelter kitty gauntlet, we have adopted a new furbaby. Formerly dubbed Janelle 31369747, she is now known as Harley Quinn–Harley for short! She is nearly 11 weeks old (born 3/16/16) and a fearless, frisky female that loves to go go go and explore the unknown!
