Holy wind gusts Batman!!!


Today we were working in the yard.  I want it to be perfect for the up and coming party!!  The wind gusts are insane!!!  They have to be a good 10 or 20 miles per hour making cleaning the yard quite difficult.   

We finished up the raking and cut the wood that was next to the shed for burning at the party.  As of right now, the back yard is pretty much done and then after dinner, I plan to do the front. 

Plans for this weekend include paining the house to a dark beige color with brown trim.  So excited to get rid of that awful asparagus pee yellow siding!!

I want to plant a ton of flowers in the front yard and put up a short retaining wall, white picket fence (that would follow to the side yard all along the edge where the creak is), and a trellis with a climbing vine growing on it for between the two satellite dishes.  As for the back yard, I would like to put a short, white leaf fence on the property line and line it with different colored roses.  After tearing down and rebuilding the porch into a deck, I want to put the vegetable garden on the right side (under the kitchen).  As you can tell, I have big plans for the yard and can’t wait to put them into play.

That is pretty much all I have (well, the besides the normal house cleaning stuff).  I did take four before and after pictures of the yard for you to enjoy. 

Lady was helping by digging up the dirt
Next to the shed before (just now realized I

  Doesn't the yard look great?!?!
