Yard Work

I haven't updated in a while, so I am going to have a few posts to update my life in the last little while. We launched the new site at work at the end of May, and that has kind of taken over my life. I love the new site, but it has taken a lot of hands on work to get it going. You should check it out www.heraldextra.com. It is starting to calm down a little now.

For a lot of the summer, I have worked in the yard. It has been a lot of work, but I really do enjoy getting my hands dirty a little bit.


Love these irises. Though they are only
I love this old stump, so I planted some flowers in it. I think they are so cute!
There was a cute flower bed with bark in the front of the house, and I built it out so that it goes around the side too.
I rebuilt this brick path. Most of the bricks were broken, so I replaced them with ones that were not.
The orchard. I got this cute bench from Bonnie. I love it in that little corner. Shawn and I sit on it at night. The only problem is that the light back there is motion activated, and so one of us has to occasionally stand up so that i will turn back on.
I also planted a garden, and will take pictures soon. I have tomatoes, watermelon and cucumber plants. There are also apple, pear and plum trees, strawberries, grapes and blackberries.
