Dirt!



Since we've accomplished a lot inside our house (new kitchen, master bath, master bedroom, Jasper's room), and Mitch's renovation of the rental house is complete, we've turned our eyes upon our yard. So plans have begun for a back yard reno, including a large patio, fire pit, pergola, a pizza oven (!), some more landscaped flower beds, and a serious veggie garden. In the previous years we've had the garden on the side yard where the dogs couldn't trample through it. This was problematic since watering it was difficult and there was a little bit of "out of sight out of mind" happening. I was usually the sole tender to the garden, and really there was only so much I could do with the little strip of earth. This year we have big plans! A large 12 x12 space has been cleared, including moving of a lot of perennials and bulbs, a garden box has been built, and now DIRT!!! Jasper had such a good time climbing up into Daddy's truck and helping to shovel the dirt out. Around here we call it "The Monster Truck." Now, onto seed sowing! So here's to spring and the garden growing!
