We have a great little garden area that we are going to be working on during the kid’s spring break from school. They love helping out and I like teaching them about where their food comes from! We definitely need to add extra strawberries after they ate them all last year!! Happy Spring!

We have a retaining wall that is less than half finished and we really need to get it done becuase it is not safe for the kids to play in our yard, so the kids have not been able to go out to play for awhile. Thank you so much for everything.

My Spring project is to create an outdoor area for one of my kitty-cats who doesn’t get along with all of the others! She loves being outside, but neither of us enjoy it when the other cats pick on her.
A $50 gift card for The Home Depot would be perfect for this project! :+)
Oh yes … I ~like~ you on Facebook, as well. :+)
Anyone want to help moving a whole backyard for rock with me? That’s just to start the long list of projects.

Our spring project is fencing the yard, and making a jungle gym/swing set for our two littlest ones. If we actually get this done I would like to finish up making an outdoor kitchen area.
I follow you via email and look forward to the offers you always have.
We are moving into my fiance’s house that has been a rental. After the last tenants, our to-do list is HUGE. $50 might be enough for all the Kilz primer it will take to cover the very dark and very bad paint jobs they did (without permission).
