Yard Work Has Begun, and will probably never end!

Here is what keeps David and I busy on the weekends - YARD WORK.  It's all really good, but it is work.

One of the big jobs is cleaning the pond after the winter season. Not a real fun job. Very stinky as a matter of fact. David usually does it by himself, but this year I got "dirty" and helped.

Here are our happy fish! 

It's tough to see, but there are 3 goldfish. There are 2 darker fish, not sure where they came from. Seriously. They are hard to see and even find. But, every once in awhile I will see them darting in the pond.


The fountain is working. This means one of the pumps is working. It's always a good sign when it works on the first try. Probably cause I was there!

David is clearing out the other two smaller ponds of debris. And the big pump also worked on the first time! We are 2 for 2! Yeah, for us.

Little fisherman is happy!  I also planted lots of flowers, notice the hanging baskets! Leslie planned a planting party where we went to the nursery and then went to her place to plant and then have some dinner together. Christine and I went early to the nursery and to buy plants with Leslie. Then David and Jared came later - for the food of course. Not exactly true. David helped Jared with the swingset.

Here are more of my flower planting. This is a little garden David made in the backyard just before Tyler and Christine's reception. It's always fun to plan it out and then plant it.

More planting, but this time some veggies. But first David made these planter boxes for me for Mother's Day. Our soil is not real great so this helped to get some decent topsoil in and plant some tomatoes and green peppers and beans for summer meals. (I hope!)

This is the second box with the same mixture of veggies. Love it!!!!
