Spring is here!!!

.....and the projects begin! LOL....isn't that the way it always is? As soon as the nice weather comes we want to get outside and start fixin' and primpin'! I've just finished mulching all the gardens and I was going to post a picture but I figured noone would want to see piles of wood chips! LOL! We moved the firepit last weekend and had our first official bonfire in the new one, this past weekend. Great fun! We've also added two yards of sand to the sandbox, much to the delight of our boys! They love that thing!


The new addition this year is our trampoline!




















They are spending hours just jumping around on that! No major injuries so far so I'm hoping it was a "SAFE" investment.


We have bigger plans to re-do the front courtyard and step.....we've had to fix pretty much everything that one of our contractors did because it was done improperly. Man, you sure do have to be careful who does work for you! Then, we'll be completing some stone work along the driveway. We're REALLY hoping to be done landscaping once and for all this year. It's been 7 years of frustration, so it's time it was all finished properly.


I'm really looking forward to a relaxing summer. We're making some changes and simplifying things a little, so I'm sure I'll enjoy this year.


Thanks for taking a peek! Have a great day!

I know what you mean about years of frustration, Kat! Hang in there...on day it will be done and you can sit back and enjoy with a margarita in hand. LOL The trampoline looks awesome, I bet your munchkins love it!

Oh no we are just starting with the landscaping.

I want to get a trampoline too but dh thinks it's too soon. Maybe next year. I grew up with homemade one and loved it.
