How Does Your Garden Grow?

While weeding this morning we discovered that we have a baby watermelon!

Pot-ential

We had this little “boy” painted black holding garden tools in his bucket.  It had never occurred to me before that the spiky hair at the top was not hair but a TIARA!  It just needed to be painted.  So everything got repainted and the shades got the additional touch of rhinestones in the corners to bling along with the silver tiara before I added the blond rope/twine hair.  A little flamingo sticker on the t-shirt and now we have a cute little “autobiographical: planter.  

Spring Break 2010 Mini-Focus: BBQ Patio

We took all the gray/black granite bricks (from the old Methodist Church that our neighbor recycled) - the ones that had lined the driveway in the front and had been part of the pond, and we created a little patio for Jesse's barbecue pit, smoker, etc.  He and the boys also retrieved a big slab of black and white granite that our neighbor had, and they put it on a metal tool cart/stand next to the new "patio" to make a cutting board/countertop  We enjoyed burgers and fajitas over Spring Break from this new outdoor kitchen! 

Nailed to the tree branches behind the grill is a sign made out of old barnwood that says "Grillin' Station"  with pegs for all of Jesse's barbecuing utensils.  We are also thinking about putting a smaller sign with it that says "Ribs Beans Gas."  :-)

Hoppin' to It

Well, for now the bunny has a new location for his hutch. It is driving Jenny crazy, though. We moved both hutches and all the pet supply stuff over by Jenny's dog run right between her and the tree. It really opened up the area for the bbq stuff, though. I hope it works out ok...if the dog ever quits barking!

A Place for all the Pool Crap

More leftover fence-wood ideas! An OUTHOUSE for putting up the pool toys and tools! We will probably put some shelves inside, but also leave some tall space for the skimmer/vacuum pole and air mattresses.

Here are 2 plans I found online
