Patio Perk Up

It has been so nice out lately. I have been spending a lot of time doing yard work and just sitting out to enjoy the nice weather. Recently, I purchased these beauties to perk up my patio. Aren't they just lovely and full of character?

I am going to be perking up my patio area. This is the first addition.

Clothesline!

Okay. . .
I have had the stuff to build a clothesline just about since we have had our house. I dug holes and I filled them up again, because my hubby wubby didn't want to build it for me. I honestly think that he doesn't like the idea of having a clothesline, but yesterday he suprised me! He dug the holes out again, cut the poles, and set them for me. How awesome is he?!

I can't wait for the concrete to set so that they can be finished. They will be done in time for summer so that we can save some dough from using the dryer. Woo hoo!

Fixer Uper's

I have been working on some projects in and outside of the house. I have built a compost bin out of pallets, but I still need to add the chicken wire to keep things from blowing all over the place.

I have built two garden boxes but have only dug out an area for one and it still needs to be filled in with dirt. I am waiting for a craislist post for free fill dirt!

I have also painted our downstairs powder room. I have been very ambishous lately! Wow!
