Greg's project

This is Greg's project. He is staining our new windows.
He will put them in someday.
He did put in an egress window!!
Doesn't it look nice?
Our next job is going to be painting the house. we will have a house painting party this summer. prob. early June. We will need all the help we can get and will provide food/liquor/beer. It will be fun. we promise.

My Project

This is my project. I am going to become a gardener and plant expert! haha. The above picture is the side of the house. I have removed the rose bush from the trellis because it didn't look pretty. As you can see I started weeding out. I think we have some flowers growing already but it may be just weeds. And to think in college i took a class called Indoor plants and Landscaping oh and also i took plant propagation. How did I pass???
This is a picture of the area in back of the garage that I am personally going to turn into a nice vegetable garden. Not sure what I will grow, but probably zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, maybe lettuce?? Not sure. First I have to build my garden bed. Does anyone know when I should start planting?? I hope it's not too late already.
This is the area by the back steps. By the end of summer it ill be a beautiful flower area. ooh maybe I can grow some berries. are berries hard to maintain. I would like blueberries.

This is the side of the house that I have started weeding and cleaning out. You can see all my hard work. And you can see where some flowers are already growing (unless they are weeds?!) By the end of summer it will be a lush beautiful landscaping feat!

PLEASE WISH ME LUCK!!!

Earth Day!






We had a lot of fun today flying kites at the Earth Day festival. It was at Lake Harriet and Macy got to write a wish on her kite and then fly it in the sky. It turned out to be such a beautiful day!
