… for do-it-yourself (DIY) backyard weddings
From the dictionary: damn v. damned, damning, damns. 1. To pronounce an adverse judgment upon; criticize adversely. 2. To bring about the failure of; ruin. 3. To condemn as harmful… Yes, I think this word fits my situation quite well.
When My mother-in-law suggested we plant the Hyacinth Bean plant I should have guessed by the [...]
These treasures were passed down to me from my Aunt Agnes. She passed away last year at the age of 90. I think she would be happy to see her old pots and pans filled with Marigolds scattered around my yard.
I gave them all holes in the bottom, and put them in beds where they would [...]
I just love this bathtub! My brother brought this to me the summer my other daughter got married. This year I spruced it up a bit by giving it a coat of fresh paint around the bottom.
The problem is I have never found anything that will grow in it yet, everything dies. This year I [...]
Is this ugly or what! I was on my morning walk when I noticed this along-side the road covered in dead grass. I have been walking on this road for years and never noticed it.
I picked the old grass off of it and drug it closer to the road. When I got home I asked [...]
Our yard definitely has a country look. We purchased the piece of property that has the old log homestead on it, so… decorating country style fits. I’m going to take the next few post and show you what I’ve come up with to make our yard unique.
I found this old wheelbarrow out in the junk pile at my parents [...]
So… it’s not totally done in this picture, but it’s enough to get me excited! Actually it is done now (broken camera not replaced yet, this is the only picture I have) sitting in my basement awaiting a coat of white paint.
I plan to purchase two body pillows, one for the back rest of the swing and one for the seat. [...]
Here it is… our finished pergola! This project took about 6-8 hours and cost about $250.00 to complete. Not bad for the years of enjoyment I plan to get out of it.
The project list included: four 4×6×10 posts (for in the ground), two 2×6×12 (header boards), and five 2×6×10 boards (for top portion) cut into 5 ft. [...]
I hope the previous four post series gave you a few ideas and maybe even a few laughes. In my first post in the series – Bricks – I talked about using bricks as a border around trees. But as you can see in the photo to the left, I didn’t use bricks around these particular trees.
And [...]

Reworking the isle…
Vacation this week! And guess what we did? Built the rock wall we’ve been wanting. It was 2007 when Lesly was married that we wanted the rock wall and landscaped [...]
This is the third post in a four part series. If you didn’t catch the first or second, here are the links to each: Bricks… and A Porch Swing Belong Here.
Ever since Lesly’s wedding I’ve wanted to finished landscaping the aisle or walkway to the lower lawn. What a mess! One side of the walkway just drops off [...]
