sprinklers, flowers and such is life!

for those who have wondered if all is good, it is! i have been SO busy since getting home. no time to blog, let alone computer time! i am taking time tonight to update this old blog!

we tested the sprinklers and voila! they work splendidly! we have our own, personal splash pad in our driveway!
more water!
there are 3 separate sprinkler sets. they can all run together or separate, they can also be adjusted by how high or how strong of a force you want to use
nate already met a new friend down the road, who came up with his dad to see what was going on in the driveway...they splashed each other then the little boy clotheslined nate to the ground and gave him a new scratch/bruise!
yep. nate likes his splash park
then to the real work.
and work we did!
we haven't stopped. we finally got started on the landscaping. we have a bit more to do, but we like what we did to the old place
garden on the side of the house. we decided to spend the money and invest in perennials. that way we don't have to spend a lot every year as well as plant flowers! here we did mini tree bushes and lilly's. can't wait to see them bloom
this was the best pic i got from the front beds. we did mulch, bushes, trees, roses and more lily's
as well as a few more but i can't remember what they are...haha
my window boxes! for the. longest. time. evah. i have wanted window boxes...it's my way of connecting with chris's swissness. i love them!!! they will be annuals, so i can change them every year to suite my fancy. this year they are multi colored, multi kinds and all over the place...kinda like me don'tcha think?
ignore the water hose. the grass is freshly seeded and should not be walked on...i can't wait to see it once it all comes together!
oh yeah, we also planted some trees...a few blue spruce and a cherry tree, we hope to add apple trees this year and will add more trees over time.
nate hopped into the wheel barrow to help chris. he's such a great helper. ha

there ya's go. once the grass is in i will post better pics. we are talking of making some changes and adding more flowers and what not.
so there ya go. that's what i have been doing. i am tired. my house is TRASHED. seriously, i would be embarrassed if anyone came over! next week is cleaning time
