"So, What did you do today?"
"I built a wall"
Not to outdo Honey, I built another wall in our yard while he was off watching the lacrosse games. I am a little tired of the backyard looking a little junky. I have been spending a lot of Honey's time making it look a lot better. We've moved several Forsythia and hostas and some impatiens against the back fence to make it look better (Our neighbors behind us need to be a lot more inspired with their yard). The never ending pile of mulch (See this post for a picture) is being used to make them look like more formal flower beds. I am trying to make the backyard be a play area for the kids, but not look only like a play area for the kids. Along those lines we have gotten outdoor storage for their toys and are trying to make everything else look a little nicer.
So I thought that since the last wall was fairly easy, I'd try one more little wall to help finish off the other end of the "trash patio."
This one is next to our side neighbors with whom we are very good friends. I planted two blueberry bushes behind the new wall and hopefully next year we can share some blueberry pie with them. Of course, now I have plans to extend to walkway (from the trash patio) around to the back of the house and connect to the back patio. Poor Honey, just when he thinks he is done....
