Playing outside

The weather has been beautiful... finally! Michael was off the past three days, so he stayed inside with Eliza and I got to play in the yard. Over the past two weeks, Michael and I have been to the home improvement store several times and have been able to get some things done in the yard.

We ordered a rain barrel, which I have watered the house plants with several times now :)

Our little tree that we bought a few weeks ago now has leaves and is looking very healthy. 

I have been wanting a tumbling compost bin for several years now, but they are expensive at the store and I haven't found a DIY that I like... until now. I saw this project on Pinterest and Michael was awesome and did it for me. To turn the compost, you knock it over and kick it around. Totally doable ;) Now, in addition to curbside recycling, we are going to have very little trash!

By the end of the week, I hope to have our raised bed up and going with some of the veggies I bought and seeds that I have been waiting to plant. 

 

I also got a stand for my Mother's Day azaleas that Michael got me. The blooms are starting to open up and are gorgeous. I hope to keep them alive!!
