What a weekend!
-we did a little bit of everything…sports, chores and play.
-we never grow tired of watching the girls play lacrosse-I’m sad the season is coming to an end. Good thing we still have soccer.
-our neglected lawn and gardens needed so much attention–weeding, mowing and a temporary fence around the raised garden beds. Yep, the deer thought we planted all those veggies for them!
-I also got ambitious and cleaned out our smoke house which I’ve always used as a gardening shed of sorts. I wanted to add a table I have as a potting station.
Quick fix for this years garden…do you see all that growth? We’re so excited!
My rock gardens needed to be weeded, edged and mulched. Each year I add a few perennials…I’m trying hard to have the garden flower all season long. It’s a work in progress. Suggestions on plants for a part-sun/shade bed to flower from Spring to Fall would be welcomed.
Next up was to clean out the smoke house…how does this tiny little building get so dirty and full of so much junk??? It was time to pull every last thing out, purge and add the potting table for extra storage.
So much better!
The second half of the weekend was visiting with friends on Canandaigua lake kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming and enjoying beautiful vistas and margaritas.
Being out on the lake felt like summer.
Eight more days of school and we’ll have many more days like that!
Hope you had a good weekend.
Happy Monday!
I LOVE the smokehouse/shed—so much character;we have one adjacent to our pool which is chock full of pool chemicals, inflatables, noodles etc;we put a small fridge,old cabinet+countertop for quick refreshments but I’m determined to clean out the rest of the space,organize pool stuff then create space for a painting table for my furniture and other-stuff-painting and hopefully a quiet place to inspire me to write…feels like I’m in the woods….I’ll take before/during/after pix
Sounds like a great use of your shed…please share picutres…I’d love to see it!
Thanks so much for stopping by
