A weekend outside

John and I spent the entire weekend working out in the yard.  Felt great to get some things accomplished out there.  We had our lawn sprayed last week and finally some of the dandelions have started to die.  I don't think anyone has taken care of the bushes and plants here for a few years so it took a full day of just trimming and cleaning to get the yard looking decent.  John and I created a spot for our garden ...now if I could just make it bunny proof.  I have heard that rabbits don't like marigolds so I planted some of those.  Our garden is going to consist of red peppers, green peppers, jalapenos, banana peppers, tomatillo's, cherry tomatos cucmbers and onions.  I also planted some basil and cilantro YUM!  Hopefully by the time that it has veggies on the plants I will have a fully functional kitchen!  We ordered our countertops so hopefully they will be in by the end of next week! 

John has started to move a few things into the house.  We now have end tables and a coffee table (John's) and hopefully he will be bringing over the kitchen table soon.  His plan is to move in by May 1 but we'll see if he can pack and move in two weeks.  He shouldn't have much else to do since most of the big work is done now at the house.  Just need to start hanging things on the walls and make this place look like a home.

  1. Sounds like you are going to be making huge batches of Salsa....or um, can you say Tomato Soup, Tomato Stuffed Turkey (for Thanksgiving) and then Tomato Cookies (for Christmas) :-) Can't wait to see pic's of all the pretty flowers that you got...and veggies.
