We live on 2 1/2 acres of property, so grass cutting takes about 3 hours to do even though we have a 42 inch base Cub Cadet riding mower. It's alot of work but after trimming around all the trees and cleaning up it always looks great!
I bought 2 banana plants at an Amish nursery and they were only about 3 inches high. A month after planting them they are now about 2 feet high. The fan like leaves are huge and the coloring on them is green and burgundy - so pretty.
We decided to build ourselves a fire pit in the backyard, so we went to Home Depot and found these landscaping bricks. All you have to do is dig out a base and pour sand in the bottom of the base and level it. Next, stack the bricks in a circle. It was really easy and only took about 1 1/2 hours to construct. So, 2-3 bags of paver sand and 48 bricks and you have your own little piece of heaven on a cool night to make s'mores! Total cost of the project - $80.00
This little clay birdhouse has been in my front garden since we built our home 7 years ago. It's tucked among bushy lilacs and rhododendrons. Every year a titmouse (bird) builds a nest, lays eggs and tends to her babies. My cats love to watch all the activity from the front window.
