Taking The Work Outside

 

     It has been a busy summer here.  We have managed to make a lot of progress on the house and our office.  But, I will go over some of those improvements in another post.  This weekend, it was all about doing a little yard work.  Prior to our work outside this weekend our landscaping consisted of keeping the weeds mowed down. This spring we had two loads of topsoil delivered to our house, and, it has been sitting there growing weeds waiting for us to move it. 

   You can see all the lovely weeds that have been growing on top of the soil all summer.  But, this weekend we went outside, de-weeded and pile and started to move the topsoil along the side of the house.  We would like to manage to get all the way across the front before we use up all our soil.

     We made excellent progress the past couple of days.  We are not sure exactly what we are going to do for plants and such at this point.  Whatever we decide it will definitely be low maintenance.  Time for gardening is not in our schedule.  The plan for this year is to seed the areas we do manage to get set, to keep the areas from growing a bunch of new weeds or turning into a mud puddle.  Then, next spring we can determine exactly what we want to do for plants and add them at that time!  Progress!
