Saturday morning, after driving by a couple yard sales and not seeing anything that we needed we headed over to a nearby high school that was hosting a plant sale. We picked up a couple herbs, veggies & flowers then headed home!
After Emery's nap we started building our little garden! This is our first year doing one so we both agreed we shouldn't make it big until we know what we are doing! We picked up this cedar raised garden bed kit from Home Depot-- so nice to not have to make it ourselves for once.
And here's an after picture of our tomatoes, bell peppers, mint, basil, cilantro, onions, lettuce, and strawberries! We planted actual plants on the right and then seeds on the left. We'll see what happens!
Our handy helper loving playing with some sand that we mixed in the soil:
On Sunday afternoon, Kyle started power washing the house. Thankfully my Dad has graciously let us borrow so many of his tools, and this awesome power washer was one of them. The left side of our house was covered in dirt & mildew, and the difference now is amazing.
Try not to look real close at how Kyle is balancing on the ladder--- ahh!
A progress shot... left side hadn't been done yet. Woah!
We've also been going on bike rides a lot through our neighborhood. Emery LOVES them and says "Weeeee" almost the entire time.
Loving this weather, and any weekend spent outside is a great one in our opinion!

Love the garden! And I'm jealous of your nice weather!
The garden is a great idea. What a difference the power washer has made! So glad the weather is cooperating.
Can't wait to see how your garden does. Just make sure you water when it's dry and check for bugs occasionally. They like to eat some of the plants.
awesome! my garden failed last summer but I'm excited to try again. Not this year though...but don't worry I'm getting pumped for next year :)
