...and so is spring cleaning and projects.
First up was our front yard, inluding pulling and digging weeds up. After spending about an hour or so a day for four or five days de-weeding, the fun part of yard work began with planting flowers. I love the added color!
I chose pink and purple petunias, impatiens, begonias,
and red geraniums for my potted plant.
Then came another dreaded job- replacing our fence. It's needed repairs for awhile now, but one storm about 2 weeks ago with 50 mph winds finally sealed its fate.
Kudos to Jon for building the gate without help, and installing it so well. It glides open and shut now! It is a far cry from the old gate that we had to lift and push in order to open, and that actually fell off its hinges completely, leaving me to catch it, on one occasion when I tried to open it.

Jon has done much hard labor around here lately, and I'm impressed by his skills! Thanks to his brother Brian for lending us his time and truck so we could build the fence, to my parents for their expertise and babysitting skills, and friends from the ward. We couldn't have done it without your help!
