Well we didn’t get too much done today so far.  Andrew just ran to Home Depot.  He was short 2 nails.  I thought it was funny.  Here is a picture of our progress. 

And this is what Andy and our friend Jack finished today.  I would have helped, but I was feeling sick all day.   Now we just need to start planting stuff.  We bought corn, onions and something else.  That’s tomorrow.  I think we are going to buy some tomato plants also.   The coolest thing is that for this little renovation project it cost us 23.77.  Thank you Virgin Health Miles.  Once I get my new pedometer, wow, I am going to work it. 

  The stumps ar enow gone.  Its empty.  This was our first task of the weekend.  Weekend started at 2 for us today.  Andy’s friend is currently on the way over to lend us a tiller for the garden.  With this area, Andy wants to tear out all the grass and make it rocks.  I think the corner with flowers looks fine.  He just doesnt like mowing the lawn right there.   We are probably going to border it because I’ve become border obsessive.  We also learned something, the sidewalk to the backyard, has a curve!  Kind of cool. 

No I’m not talking about the president. Although.. . . anyways. We decided that we would get rid of the bushes by our garage because they were very poorly placed. Every time we wanted to get into the garage, we would be attacked by branches. Here is the before picture:

Here is the after:

I learned one thing. I like the pruning shears. Maybe a little too much. Yes, we knew ahead of time that we were taking both down. But if not I attacked it in the first few minutes to seal its fate.

Now we don’t know what to put there. Something since there is no grass, I’m open to any suggestions. But its so nice to actually be putting something of ourselves into the house other than decorating. Its finally feeling like its our house. In one month it will be a year here.

Today we are going to attempt to landscape the backyard. Andy is feeling better today, but I’m not 100% today now. But he’s the one that will do most of the work anyway. I just tell him what to do! He he. We are going to Home Depot to look at the stones. I think we have to measure first. I had told Andy to draw it out for me how he wants it to look. All I know, is I want to add some Garden Gnomes. I had said back when we bought the house, I did not want any gnomes. We got a Gnome for a wedding present, his name is Rupert and I kind of like him.
