Spring is in the Air

We did our taxes pretty early so we could move ahead with our big tax-return-funded back yard project. Overhill has a pretty skinny driveway. Passengers need to exit the car before it pulls in next to the house. There was also a lot of damaged concrete near the garage.

We also wanted to solve the problem of shuffling cars. Right before the Superbowl, K heard a commercial for garage door openers, "get it free if the Patriots win!" Of course, you all know how that turned out...We found ourselves with a new (paid for) garage door opener and a garage without power. K and my dad ran power to the garage and we had part of the driveway and a little bit of the backyard redone with stamped concrete.

Once we clean the garage out, two people can park there while another parks in off to the side. We are so excited about how nice the driveway came out and can't wait to start having backyard barbecues.

With the nice weather, we have been able to work on other outdoor projects like mulching, raking, and a little planting.  I'm also excited every time something starts to shoot up from the garden, I can't wait to see what kind of flowers we have.
