OUTDOOR PROJECTS UNDERWAY
These last couple of weeks Kevin and I have been working outside getting some projects started and completed. Projects that we have been wanting to do and FINALLY got up and started them due to the fact that fall weather is creeping around the corner plus in a couple months I will be having my surgery and won't be able to help out with much.
One of the first projects was to bury our downspouts under ground making the yard easier to mow plus look nicer. Kevin rented a ditch witch and dug 3 trenches. The longest in the front yard with 2 on the side of the house. They are now buried and covered. Praise the Lord!
Now------We have talked about making a rock garden in the front yard for a couple summers now so guess what? We finally started it because doing the trenches it left dirt on the yard so we thought this would be a good time to start the rock garden/yard in the front. Our plans became a larger version of a rock garden but once we lined it out with larger rocks we finally decided on what we wanted so we started up next to the house and planted some new mums and started covering the yard with stone. The layout we have will go to the edge of the driveway clear down to the edge of the street. We will have plenty of things to display in the garden like, bird baths, bird feeders, small shrubs, medium shrubs, unique type statues that have yet to be found. As we further the project we will show the pictures but I will share what we have now.
