I still have a bunch more work there.... I've been so busy trying to get the garden together and expanding my flowerbeds that I didn't get to the area where our pavilion goes ready. I'm done expanding the beds around the house all but the shade side. I am putting in a huge wildflower bed in the front (it will look like a meadow I'm so excited) along our driveway and I have to dig out all the stuff there and turn the soil without a tiller. I hate doing this stuff in the heat but sadly because I had hurt my shoulder I couldn't really do any yard work in the spring. I'm going to try to do most of the work in the morning and evenings when it's cooler. At least thankfully the grass is looking a bit better.... Ike and I put some fresh loam down and are reseeding the front. We added in some warm weather seed to the sides and back. In the fall we will add loam and reseed the sides. The back I'm not as worried about the kids are murder on it and I know it will never look great while they are back there so much. So all that brings me to...
I'm grateful for our very large yard. Some lots on Cape they built these HUGE houses on little tiny parcels of land. Thankfully we have ugh I can't remember exactly but almost an acre. It's pretty big and we are slowly turning it into what we want. One side is going to be our living side pavilion,pool,open grass the other side we want to leave a lot of the trees and want to landscape like it's a public garden with meandering paths. We haven't really done anything over there yet but we are making plans to build this summer a tree house close to the end of our land so they have to go through the woods to get to it.
We're not totally sure what design. We have to talk to a friend who is a carpenter first but this one is a possibility. I'm hoping for simple so the kids can help build it.
