This past few weeks has been super busy. Lots of summer fun and projects going on at our house! Lately I’ve been putting in a lot of hours working on improving the home. I’ve made some good progress, but there is still much to do to get it to where we want it to be. Here are some pictures from before and my progress so far…..
In the front yard….before
As you can see it was an overgrown mess!
In the front yard after some….progress
No pictures yet of a finished project but….currently I’m attempting
a weed barrier idea (from my mother in law) in this area. Mostly because while I was removing all the brush, I got a lovely case of Poison Ivy on my arms and legs. I would REALLY like to avoid that happening again if I can so...I raked out the
entire bed, and laid thick newspaper…wet it with the hose…and recovered with
mulch...I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with this area by the street, it's awkward. I don't like the big space of nothing. I was considering maybe some type of border and then sod on the remaining area, but not sure if it will be wide enough for hubs to get the mower through. If anyone has some low-no maintenance suggestions, I would love to hear them.

So we found them a nice new home they could enjoy even more. I think the car ride really confused them…particularly the
music playing in the car. Both of them put their heads out as far as they could
and sat really still listening to it….trying to figure it out maybe?
Their new home……
You can’t see it here but the big one swam a ways and then
resurfaced. The little ripples are him/her.
The release.....
The other guy found a nice spot in some foliage.
What have you been up to lately? What home improvement
projects are you planning/doing?
