Spring Weather

Once again, the sun is shining and the temperatures are in the 60's. Hurray! Mike and I spent some time walking around the yard and mapping out the things we would like to do this summer. The raised garden beds will need to wait until next summer. We're going to expand the size of the privacy fence. Here's our "To Do" list for this year.

* Install privacy fence in back and side yard
* Build fire pit
* Build storage shed
* Lay railroad ties to surround parking area
* Bring in more gravel for parking area
* Install fireplace on patio (we already own this, so the expense will be limited)
* Purchase and put together new trampoline
* Purchase sandbox
* Build sidewalk from parking area to back patio
* Power wash and stain deck
* Repair pump in hot tub (Unless the money runs out)
* Build and install bench around one large maple
* Bring in mulch
* Purchase and install clothes line and poles

Boy, the list seems a lot longer when it's written out. It should be fun getting everything accomplished. The older children will use the yard a lot more when some of these projects get done.
