Iron basket & a big ~wow~

We have been doing so much yard work
that I just had to snap some more pictures
of how things are finally progressing now that
we have had a few days of spring
notice I didn't say
~summer~


This was in the garage when we moved in
so this year I decided to do something
~with it~


~The back door~

where 99.9% of guests enter 
~our home~
see that little arch on the right
that's the door

no one can find our
~front door~
(that's another post)

well this back door area needs to be fun
for summer
~right~
(this was at the end of fall)

So the Hubs screwed in some wood
for the back
found some moss in the back yard
not hard to do in the soggy
~ Northwest ~

put in some really good soil
& plants
 a big screw in the wall
~voila~

2 weeks ago

Better right?
well since we've had very few days of
~sunshine~
I am happy with the progress

~Hubs~

~this year~

father's day gift

forget the little basket stuff

~big basket~

  1. OMG, my husband loves to play on toys like that. He is going to have to rent a bob cat sometime to tear up our backyard and start over. Love your hanging planter. So pretty. We have moss in our yard from all the springs running under our ground. Only thing now a lot of it is drying up with no good rainfall in weeks.

  3. My hubby had a back hoe for years and it was his favorite toy! He would drive the boys around in the big scoop around our property just for fun (for him though he always said it was for the boys!!)
    The basket looks great!

  10. I bought a similar iron basket this spring and haven't yet done anything with it - thanks for the push! You're right - no shortage of moss up here!
    I won't be showing my husband your husband's new toy - he'll be seriously envious!

  12. What a great post. I think your house is so beautiful!

    It's funny that people get "lost" and can't find your front door. :-)

    I'm loving the vibrant colors of these flowers. So enchanting! It's looking great.

    Have a Blessed Day!

  14. Lavender is best colour of every occasions. Spring is such a beautiful time to take photographs of awesome flowers or nature colours.
