Well, we have officially begun the
re landscaping!! WOW! I didn't realize how much hard work was involved in doing this. My wonderful hubby has been working on the tractor for three days straight now getting the old lawn (or lack of) scrapped down so we are ready for our new top soil! Then begins the process of making that level and spreading the seed. My Dad does landscaping so he gave us the seed that is good for mountain regions. I can't wait!! We did have one fairly large tree in the middle of the yard that we had to pull down because all of the main branches in the middle were dead. I just don't understand how that happens! It sure looks different with it gone. My dear hubby was burning a pile of weeds in the yard and of course the wind was blowing and he succeeded in
scorching all of the leaves on one of my new shade trees!! I think he is praying that they come back or his little wife is not going to be very happy with him! He was afraid to tell me that he had done it. He just sat there and looked at me with these great big puppy dog eyes and said "I'm really sorry honey!!!"
Grrrrrrrr!!!! He is so grounded from burning right now!!! He was able to extend the front yard out about 6 more feet. I guess now I'm going to have to let him buy a riding mower!! Only if my tree lives!!
Next we begin the process of tearing the old railroad ties out of the
terracing and
getting ready to put in wall block. It should be really pretty when we are all finished with it. Next year we are going to redo the outside of the house. Baby steps!!!
Next Saturday we get out new HOT TUB!! That is something I have been begging for for years now. I guess he couldn't stand it anymore!! ;)
For all of you that have been missing me, I'm really sorry but I promise once things slow down I will catch up!! I haven't done a single LO in what feels like forever!! The album I did for my mom for Mother's Day was the last thing I have done that was creative. She was so happy with it though and it made her cry. Of course me being the big baby that I am cried right along with her.
I have officially lost 13lbs on my diet!!!! Not bad for 3 weeks of work!
I'll check in with you all later!!!
