backyard spruce up






















































































































































































Our little fixer upper got some outdoor summer lovin' this year. Matt & Grandpa Ken worked to put in a small rock patio where we could never grow grass. Now the grill has a permanent home & I got my much desired fire pit. Yipee! We have had far too few s'more sessions but I think we can remedy that easily.

4 boys & the dog make for one patchy yard. We tried to give the grass frequent attention & it is beginning to show. I am hoping that spreading some seed + cooler temps=spring lawn perfection.

Kaleb helped me nurture a small garden in a new spot this year. Like I posted earlier, it is a learning process.

Jake is happily enjoying her spiffed up space.
