Back patio done!

First off, check out the house this summer! It looks so much different than last August. Our grass is green! And the house is blue! It's so cute and happy this summer, despite all the rain. At least the blueberries are in full swing. The fall garden is planted and we're hoping for a much better yield than the crap summer disappointment. We'll replace "crop" in November with red clover. The clover will add nutrients to the soil. Is all you have to do is "plow" in March and let nature take its course. It's a much easier process than hauling in new dirt in 2011.

Okay, check out the new patio! Here we just swept in the last of the sand. New pavers! Can't wait to enjoy gallons of margeritas next summer! Nice job husband!

Beautiful yard

First off, there's Buddy! He's taking a break from babies to play ball...like the old days when it was just him at the center of attention. Poor Buddy.

Check out the window box (below). The Nastershums already have little black bugs on them. Every year that happens and yet, every year I plant them. Arg! Don't let me next year.

There's the lovely house. It's so different then the brown grass of last August. It's such a mild summer. I'm sure we're in for a harsh winter and you'll soon see a snow picture posted here. We're still thinking about the upstairs. I have already begun to pack away all the crap. I spent $80 on 30 gallon plastic bins at Lowes a couple weekends ago. Rather than chuck stuff in them, we're actually sifting through and sending things off to the Goodwill and the dump. ...Making progress!
