Weekend of Yard Work!

Getting some yard work done can be fun and rewarding! Most people think spending the long weekend in the great outdoors is great - but the great outdoors of your own property getting it whipped into shape? Sure! Even with a new trailer sitting out back begging to be used, we needed to get our priorities straightened out for the weekend. Our poor front yard has been neglected for three years now. It got the basic mowing and weeding (for the most part) but the bark bed under the trees was in sorry shape! I'm glad to announce this is no longer true. NOW we can plan on camping this weekend with the kids. We are really really looking forward to this time together with them in another great outdoors. God's other great outdoors!



HOW MANY TOOLS DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE JOB DONE?



GETTING LANDSCAPE FABRIC DOWN - NO WEEDS!



SPREADING OUT THE CEDAR MULCH.

Peter and I make a great team! We put the fabric down together crawling around under the trees and around the cedars. Then I shovelled mulch from the pile into wheelbarrows and he spread it around and packed it in. We had a truck load of cedar mulch delivered early Friday morning (took the day off) and dumped on a tarp on the road out front. It was very important to get it in place as quickly as we could. The last bit for the back yard that didn't make it there is dragged to the side of the house - still wrapped up in the tarp. I think the tarp won't hold back water anymore. Oh well, it's one of the ones purchased to cover the wood etc while building the station. I think it has served it's purpose over and over again!



GLAD IT IS DONE!

Now all we have to finish doing is getting some more barrel planters for next year to place around in the cedar and reseed part of the front lawn. There is always something more isn't there? I'm just glad to be this far! Now about that camping ....



LET'S GO!
