Aren’t Weekend Just the Best?!


What a fun, relaxing and exhausting weekend! It’s amazing sometimes how much you can accomplish in two days. On a lunch hour trip to Home Depot on Friday I spotted two trees I just HAD to have. Somehow, someway these two trees inspired …a completely revamped back yard, thirteen rolls of sod, a yard and a half of bark, four MORE trees (for a total of six), five new bushes, oodles of new perennials and annuals and one sore back.

My lazy Sunday reward for my Saturday’s efforts… An amazing Egg Benedict breakfast cooked by dear sweet Jack (complete with mimosas). A nap in the sun on our new deck. And kabobs on the grill (with more champagne) to top the evening off. Gotta love the weekends!

What a sweet weekend - that sounds so lovely! In between the rain storms I was able to plant a flat of annuals, and the Hubs mowed & fertalized the grass, but not much else was done : - (

However, on Sunday afternoon, I made delicious homemade Korean chicken wings & cucumber salad, yum!

That sounds like a fun weekend! I love doing yard work, or balcony work in my case. Your back yard looks great!

Thank you for your very nice words about my blog! You are too kind.

Your yard(and the food)looks wonderful. I have to say I'm a bit jealous. We are just barely getting into yard work as we have just recovered from a LONG HARD ND winter. Even snowed here a week and a half ago. Expect frost tonight. YAy!! :)
