That single swing hanging from the tree in our backyard recently got a new friend/neighbor. A rope had been attached to a bolt in the tree and Shawn suggested we use that bolt for a much more grand purpose. And the above picture shows the joy Shawn created upon completion of our tire swing. It was hard work for Daddy putting the chains, S links, and bolts in place. But it has been worth it!
We've also been putting together a few square foot gardening boxes from remnants the previous tenants left behind. They weren't much for gardening and had used the kits as borders for flowerbeds. The flowerbeds didn't have anything growing in them...so I've recycled them back to their original designs. We are hoping to get some fresh veggies out of the boxes come March and April. There's still a lot of research we need to do to prepare ourselves for the different Texas growing seasons.
And finally, the patio. When we moved in, we got a back step as the patio. Since then, we moved pavers from the front yard (which were being used for a non-existent flowerbed) to the backyard and added a few more. Voila! C'est magnifique! We now have a much more usable patio space. Nothing glamorous but definitely much better than before. Perhaps in the future we'll fill in the other space with matching pavers and finish it off the right way. I can hardly wait!
