Playing in the DirtWe've been spending our free time out in the yard playing in the dirt. It looks a lot better already. With a little more effort it'll look even better. And once we're all set up, future years will be very easy. We built three raised garden beds for vegetable/flower gardens and also have been adding flower beds various places around the yard. |
