Today is my sister’s birthday! Happy 28th Drea!
In backyard news, this is what about two hours of work looks like:
The first day I had Ali playing outside with me – until I saw about 4 mosquitoes buzzing around her head! So, needless to say, that session was cut short! Yesterday I went out for a little bit during nap time, and made myself some nice working ambiance with two citronella candles by my side. It kept the skeeters away, but was not really a workable solution. Now I’ve gotta go get some mosquito spray for the yard before I can continue unbitten…
As far as the project itself, there are some other issues. Most annoying are the roots from the bushes in the hedgerow, and the fact that I have to dig down about six inches to accommodate the bottles. But hey – the materials are free, and I think they look pretty cool!
Still to do:
-Finish the border
-Pull up the grass and put down newpaper
-Transfer some monkey grass from the front of the house to the back
-Put down mulch
This will probably take me until 2017! Haha!
