Yard work!!!!

Well last year we did nothing outside but let our yard get overtaken with weeds and almost kill everything!! so this year we had a ton of work to do to try and save and change things!


building a new retaining wall which we were not planning on doing and dug out wayyyyyyyy to many rocks in the process and now we are stuck with a ton of rocks, and no where to put them!!

This used to be grass and we didn't want to pay to install the sprinkler to it so we dug it out and moved the pea gravel from the "garden area" and then put a couple of the rocks from the retaining wall!




This is a project for the front flower bed the kids both picked one color of paint and then we painted the wood and cut to length then made a zig zag garden in front the has half flowers and half garden. I will take a picture when it is growning more and i can tell what is weeds or flowers then i can take a picture! I worry the kids got a hold of the wild flowers and scattered them in the garden part so i want to see what it is before i yank it all up!!

fun projects. we just did the exact opposite -- dug up some pea gravel we had put down and put grass there instead. how's the running going? :)
