We have had some beautiful weather these last two weekends! Which means that the closets have been cleaned out, winter clothes & down comforter have been put away, patio furniture is out and we have started a few outdoor projects. The first was to level some ground space in the backyard for a new shed. Mike completed this on his own! Sometime this week he will fill it with crushed stone, just in time for the shed to arrive on Friday, which means there will be more room in the garage soon!
The second project we started this weekend was a garden. The former owners had one originally, but the grass had grown in unevenly, and there were weeds and rocks everywhere. We decided to dig an 8 by 10 space, we picked out as many of the rocks, weeds, and roots as we could. Then we made a trip to Lowe's and picked out some bricks for edging. Finally we were able to put the bricks in and get everything to look as straight and even as possible. Finally, we filled it all in with top soil. The next step will be to figure out what exactly we want to plant in our garden...

Finally, warm weather means nice long walks outside and enjoying the sunshine. Last time I decided to go in the woods with Sage. I recorded a little video of her running around freely. I think she had a lot of fun getting all muddy and I got a good workout. However, it was NOT fun picking off all of the ticks when we got home (I lost count - GROSS)! I think next time I'll just stick to walking around the neighborhood! Only 6 more weeks of school and then hopefully I'll have plenty more sunshine stories to share!
Notice those muddy little paws!!!
