Around the House

My Dad and Ben spent one cold and rainy day laying a new patio behind the house. We are soo happy with it! No more gravel...

We layed some patio stones in front of the gazebo too.

My planters are actually doing well this year, thanks to miracle grow:) 

One of my plants got knocked out when the patio umbrella blew over in a wind storm...but it's making a recovery:)

I do love gardening though, no matter the outcome.

"Berry" the kids backyard best friend!

The "not-so-little-but-still-cute-ducklings"

AND the playhouse...I painted it. I told my mom I could have it done in an afternoon, but it took a few days  of spare time. It has taken me all of those days to get used to the change,it's still growing on me.:)  Once I find/make a sign for the door and a little bench for the porch it will be cute:)

"thank you my patient husband":)

this was it before...
