More Gardening

The biggest major change is that we got the extra slab of concrete in our backyard taken out. I don

My garden is coming along well for the most part, though I’ve had a few casualties. My dog ripped out one of my bleeding heart plants. I ended up transplanting our hydrangea where it used to be as I’ve read hydrangeas don’t like full sun anyway and it gives me more room for veggies. [...]

Snapshot Sunday

I found these in the cupboard just like this lol. I

I’m a day late, but at least I’m actually getting this up this week! I’ve been busy again and haven’t had a lot of time for posts. I’m going to be really busy this whole week and then we’re leaving Friday for Calgary. If I have a chance, I’m going to try and get [...]

Garden 2009

All right, so I finally got some pictures I promised of how my garden is coming along, and even got them uploaded. I debated whether to repost pictures from last year, or just link to the posts. I decided I’d like to see the before and after pictures together, so I’m reposting the pictures. [...]

Homegrown Revolution

I thought I’d posted this last year but I searched and can’t find it. Whether I did or not though, it’s worth posting again. This family really inspired me last year when I was feeling a bit down about how tiny my yard is and whether I’d ever be able to [...]

Real Estate

We had a really busy weekend this week. Saturday morning we went back out to look at that property I posted about last week that we thought we might love. First we decided to stop by another, similar property just to get a comparison in our minds. We weren’t expecting much from the [...]

Gardening

Remember my garden from last year? And the ambitious plans I had for it? Some of those are coming to fruition this year. I was going to take pictures but then the sun went away, so I’ll take some pictures later and post them. If you look at the links from last year [...]

Snapshot Sunday

Snapshot Sunday is something Sarah debuted back in November. From her blog:

Thought I’d try something new, so I’m debuting Snapshot Sunday. I’m not really creative with names. What I’ll do is walk through my life at the moment – wherever I am, whatever I’m doing and take [...]

Ambitious Plans

Meredith and I just spent some time wandering around behind the other houses in our complex. Really I was just following her around (and at times she was following me around) with no real purpose to our walk, but it made me realize something. Our yard is one of the least well-kept yards here. [...]

Apparently we need a pool…

Kris and I had discussed potentially buying Meredith a little swimming pool for the backyard, but decided maybe we’d hold off until next year, as we weren’t sure she would be interested this young anyway. Apparently we were wrong…

This is the dog’s water dish outside.  It’s not normally this dirty but before [...]

Clutter and Stuff

Kris and I have spent the past few days decluttering and moving rooms around.  It’s a great feeling to watch our boxes and piles of stuff slowly diminish.  I have a whole pile of stuff to post on FreeCycle or Craig’s List, and a huge bag of clothes to consign or donate.  It feels [...]
