Hello Summer...Nice To See You Again...

Here I am getting ready to work in the garden at about 10pm. It's still light!!


Here is the outside now. The bed on the right has the flowers and on the left has the veggies. You can see our new bench up against the house and the bird feeder in the tree. We also put in a decorative metal fence on the back side of the flower bed, to separate it from the walking path, but it is hard to see in this photo. (click on the image to enlarge it)

Hello Everyone!!





Well, summer is here. We have had a couple beautiful weekends with sunshine and temps in the 60's. So we are officially in the early part of summer! Our house is looking great and we only have a couple more projects till we are finished!! The nice weather has allowed us to focus some of our attention to the outside of our property. We have a nice front area with a couple of very nice flower beds and some great outside space. We decided that we would use 1 bed for flowers and 1 primarily for vegetables / herbs. In the veggie bed we have planted strawberries, blueberries, chives, basil, mint and lettuce. I will be planting a tomato plant this coming weekend hopefully. In the flower bed we got a great mixture of flowers and i think it looks very good! We also bought a bird feeder (seen in the tree in the photo) and a new outside bench (also seen in the photo) that gives us a nice lace to sit outside on nice evenings.

It is staying light till after 11pm so that has allowed us A LOT of time outside. We have been working outside in the evenings, and we have been going for evening walks around the lake and the neighborhood.

That is all for now, I am sure that we will post more soon!!
