Instead of going to the gym on Saturday, Trent and I did yard work and built a bench for our front garden oasis. The yard is still not finished, but it is so much better than before. Trent and I used to be so un-handy until I bought him an impact drill for Christmas a year and a half ago. It's amazing the difference proper tools can make. Now I need to get him a spare battery. Those things are expensive! I had no idea the battery would cost so much more than the whole six piece kit did. Anyway, the bench is beautiful and Wednesday we are going to tackle to archways into the garden area.
It will be similar to this, but without the trellis on the side unless it is less expensive to do it that way. I'll then plant a flowering vine on wither side. I think clematis will do. Anybody know of another flowering vine that is just as maintenance free and pretty?
I am happy that Trent and I now have a new skill and can actually tackle this project in a few hours, whereas before, this archway would be an impossibility. This new landscaping will add value to our home and hopefully we won't look like renters in our own home anymore.
Wow! I've somehow missed a couple of posts. Happy late birthday to your sister, I hope you don't have to be Dolly, but of course you are talented and you would do well -- provided you didn't panic. I would panic. I hope your voice is better, and I'm proud of you for your excellent eating, and exercising habits and you and Trent's building skills. May you continue to be blessed in all of your endeavors!
