Friday we went to the summer arts festival. Yesterday Mom and I ran the errands and started working on the backyard. We finally finished this afternoon. I’m utterly sore, covered in bruises and bug bites, and I have a strange rash. But it feels good. I’ll be back with a real update tomorrow.
why I haven’t posted since friday and why I’m sucking at my 28 day challenge right now

The backyard looks wonderful! You want to come do mine? LOL

Here’s the secret to the shiny things – they’re the metal things you’d use for basement egress windows. At our hardware store they were about $30 each and it takes 2 to make a bed. You just bolt them together with galvanized bolts and nuts. They didn’t take long to make and they should last damn near forever.

One of Mom’s friends saw something similar in the Gardener’s Supply catalog but they wanted something like $300 for each of them. These were under $100. We like cheap. 😀

your backyard is an artpiece… it’s so great to watch it after all that work :o) we are still outside to pimp up our nuclear test ground, maybe it looks a little like a backyard after some days :o)

Thank you! I’ve been having a lot of fun helping Mom bring it all to life. I’m really looking forward to being able to use the grill tonight and relax out there.
