So this weekend I planned to work on the yard and get everything looking nice to start the summer off right.  Couple of things I wanted to get done was plant the tree better in the front yard, work on the edging, mow, fertilize, and setup the sprinklers.  I first headed out to Lowe’s to get the fertilizer and some stuff for the tree.  I don’t understand why everything that your trying to find is not in the most common sense place to put it.   Trying to find would steaks for the tree, you would think it would be with the trees or with the wood, nope its way in the back of the garden dept, as far away from the trees as you can get.  Sigh!  One nice thing was that the fertilizer was right next to it.    So then I start to wonder (for all the guys out there, you know what I mean) looking for what ever looks new and shiny.  Didn’t really find to much or at least it wasn’t in the place where I was looking.

So after a little wondering I leave Lowe’s and head back to the house after loading the car up.  Got home and started working on the Tree, we got a Cherry that comes up to about my waist, its small but it already looks great.   I steak the tree in with the wood and twine I got, and put some more tree soil making sure to make the bowl shape so the water stays better.  Then mowed the yawd and did the trimming, while I was doing the trimming I noticed that the gates were all messed up so I pulled them off and set them aside on the house.  The fence was given to us for free so I don’t mind making some repairs (beats building a whole new fence.)   After the trimming was done, I got the fertilizer out of my car and started filling up the hand spreader and did the whole yard, hope it helps, I need to get the grass fuller.

All and all I spent 4 plus hours working on the yard and got really really burnt.  I am a (shall we say) really white boy, I don’t tan, I just burn and peal.  I think the house really looks great now, my family and I have been living in it now for over 2 years, I have only been married for 3 years.   Here is a Picture of the house now after I did all the work.
