91 degrees out

March 31, 2008 by abbie 62 Comments

I was in the backyard hanging out diapers on the clothesline and thought to myself, “Hey, I should water our grapevine!” So I finished the diapers, grabbed the hose and started watering the vine. Then I saw the irises needed a drink, so they got the hose.

Just look how pretty!

So pretty!

At least…I think that’s an iris, right?

Then I got all motivated and decided to tackle this:

Rock thingy before...

See, we live in a very old house with a very potentially cool backyard. Decades ago, I’m sure this was well maintained and just overflowing with gorgeous flowers. When it became ours, it was just a big ol’ heap of mess.

So I grabbed a hoe and I started in on it. And Elliott helped.

“Dirt? What dirt?? I would never eat dirt, Mommy!”

See, before that, she was clean. Before my sudden urge to get dirty took over, she looked all sweet and smelled sweet, too.

Anyhow, I did pretty well with the darn thing and then Shayne got home and chipped in. We were nasty, dirty and sweaty, but look how much better it already looks!

Still, it needs lots of love, flowers and maybe a bird bath? And we’ve got many, many flower beds that need love as bad or worse as this poor thing did. All in time. All in time.

Oh yeah. And then there is this.

Our neighbor who actually grew up across the street says it was a fish pond 50-60 years ago when she was a kid. It was painted green so the cats couldn’t see the fish and eat them all up. The question remains: What the heck do we do with it??? I’m open to suggestions!

    uh 91? The highest we’ve seen this year is 66 and it was raining. OH can you do a fish pond again? Could you fill it with water and make a pool for the kids? Looks like you have a great start. Wanna come help me finish mine up? It’s a massive pile of dirt right now.

    trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good results.

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
    better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself
