We had all of the kids outside with us weeding, planting, cleaning, sweeping, blowing, raking, etc.
For about 3 hours.
Whew. One more thing off of my to-do list.
Thank gosh for sweet helpers!
Even though it's still very early in the year... we live in Arizona, and sometimes Spring just comes early. I noticed some leaves growing in our newly planted roses.
We added some flowers to the front yard... I trimmed up our little palms out front...
And we planted a new plant in the side yard. That poor side yard area has been dug up so many times.
I think this is the 4th [and final] plant/tree thingy. Bottom right, that's a Split Leaf Philodendron. I love the feel of it... as in tropical! ;)
With the front yard finally cleaned up, I am one happy momma!
Until I realize that the backyard is still dirt. Groan!! I feel like we aren't ever going to get the rest of the lot done!
Well... we *are* going to be adding a third driveway in this month... on the right side of the house. It will lead back to the RV gate and side yard.
Why, you ask?!
A new [to us] car. She's a 2011 Mazda 3 and the husband has been driving her mostly. She has a sun-roof. [SWOON!]
That means that as soon as a certain teenager gets off his butt and gets his license, he will have the small truck to drive. Thus, we need an additional parking space.
The original plan, when we did the landscaping, was to build a paver driveway. But, we held off and have since decided to go with concrete.
Can't wait until that's done! Hopefully soon!
Spring is in the air (I did dare to say it)... and I am loving life.
