Progress on the homefront-Continued...

This past weekend we planted the grass in the front and back of the house. Fortunately the weather was beautiful, as it ended up taking up most of the afternoon Saturday and Sunday to get finished. And we're getting lots of rain this week, so hopefully we will start to see some little green patches poking out of the ground really soon.

Next on the list:

• Researching ground covers to plant on one side of the house where there is a slope that lends itself to lots of erosion. Open to suggestions if anyone has any.
• On the other side of the house we are going to build a small retaining wall to finish it off a bit and to provide a flat landing off the deck stairs. Then we'll plant grass over there too.
• Do some landscaping around the front of the house, shrubs, flowers, etc.
• Build a small structure to house some of our outdoor supplies and a cover for the tractor. Not sure what that's going to be just yet.
• Plant our garden. We've tilled up the spot we are going to use and prepared the ground. Hope to start planting in the next week or so.
  

Hopefully we'll have some updates of pictures with all our outdoor projects flourishing in the very near future.
