Project #1
This is usually where we found Grace anytime we went outside. She just loves digging in the dirt or mulch or anything really that she can get dirty in. So we thought we would give her something to dig in.
This random cement slab in our backyard was put there by the previous owners for a smoker. He use to smoke meat all the time. We never use it and could not figure out what to do with it until now.
This was way more fun than helping Daddy out front.
Playing in her brand new Sandbox!! She loves it and wants to go in it every time she gets outside. It has not stopped her completely from digging in the mulch or dirt but she really leaves all that alone as long as the cover is off to the sandbox.
Not to worry about the cats. We built a cover for it so when we are not outside neighborhood cats and our own cats do not use it as a litter box.
Project #2
Mark put a trellis over our garden. It gets so hot here in the summer that it burns the plants and we end up getting very few veggies, if any. So this year Mark decided to build some shade for the garden.
He also decided to build the garden up a little more so we needed to add some extra boards along the bottom.
Gracie was handing Daddy the boards, always the little helper.
Cleaning everything out and adding some new dirt for planting.
Our garden!! Everything looks very small in this picture but it has been a month since we have planted everything and they are growing great. We planted several different types of peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, zucchini and some herbs. This summer we will also add a shade cloth to the front of the garden to hang down in front to block more of the sun.

For now those are the projects for the year. We planted some flowers but other than that we are just going to enjoy the yard this summer. Oh and Brandy to answer your question, no you will never see a post about a chick pen going into our back yard. Although I'm sure both Grace and the cats would love it. hehe :)
