I will start with a little recap of the past week. Last Friday (June 11) Heath rented a tiller to break up the super hard dirt in our back yard......for easier shoveling. It certainly did the trick, however, it started raining that evening and then rained most of the weekend and he actually hasn't even been in the back yard since the tiller episode. I am hoping it isn't all for nothing today when he starts moving dirt? But things are looking different and progress is being made!! I bought my plastic stemless wine glasses and I am ready for some backyard entertaining!!
Yesterday we had a picnic at work, got to close the office at 2:00pm!! We went to a park and had some great food and sand volleyball. It was a lot of fun to hang out with my co-workers outside of the office. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos.....bad me.
Most of the day yesterday, I was feeling a sore throat coming on, yuck. So, when we got home last night I went to lay down while Heath and Layne finished a project you will see shortly. I think I fell asleep around 9:00 pm and then woke up around 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep for some time. I finally did, but Pedro and Baly got me out of bed around 6:30. I seem to feel better this morning and I am very happy about that because Layne and I have some plans today!!
So, this morning while everyone else in the house is asleep....I made coffee, started the dishwasher, laundry and took some photos.
Roxy really enjoys the cool mornings and just chillin' in the yard (it is pretty great this morning).
This is the project that Heath has been working on for the last couple evenings (and Layne helped him with it last night). It is a compost bin and I am so excited it is done!! We can now recycle leaves and food waste, etc.... Pretty soon we won't even need garbage pick-up, just recycling!!
I think they have a few finishing touches on it, like the rods sticking out and then the top, but all sides come off so when the dirt is ready you can get it out easily!! Our little garden will be going to the right of this!!
The rose bush looked so pretty this morning. It was an option to take this out during our yard remodel, but we opted to keep it and I am glad. Just below this to the right is a circle thing and that is our new dog poo composing project. We actually have two in the yard and I am very excited about it also. We aren't really sure about the results yet but will keep at it (or Layne will....he! he!)
Sully was just following me around this morning while I took pictures and watered plans, I think he wanted to play ball!!
So, it is a beautiful morning and the rest of the family is still asleep. I am having my wonderful coffee and listening to Bob Marley. Pretty great!
When Layne gets up we are going to the farmer's market and to Old Colorado City to see if we can find a super cool father's day gift. If we can't, I think we are going to get him a rain barrel! Not sure how great of a father's day gift that is....but he wants one?
“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!”

Enjoy your day.
