Spring is here!!!

We have had some really nice weather so what better way to soak up the sun then work outside! The seed in the backyard is coming in nicely except where the dog runs by the fence to socialize with the neighbor dogs. I am thinking decorative pavers or something at this point! I have also been anxous to work on the front porch. It is hard when everyone has the same look, but I did find some nice things to dress it up and make it more my own.


I started with the plant stand which I got on clearance! Can't beat that! I picked out some pots and flowers then realized it looked so small and lonely.


Zach and I were out seaching for trailers and stopped by a tractor supply store where they had this cute wooden wheel barrow. I thought that would different compared to what the rest of the neighborhood has. I have flowers in it now and I think it looks pretty good.

We have been wanting a nice swing, but with limited space and the porch covered it didn't make sense to get the big canapy ones. I saw a wooden glider bench at Lowes, but it was almost $200 and it just didn't seem worth that. Low and behold the BX came through and had this nice glider seat for a good price. So now I have to work on getting my roses to bloom. Of course having a neighbor kid step on them doesn't help! We probably won't ever win yard of the month, but I am happy with the transformation.
