Our landlords were nice enough to give us an old dog run to use as deer fencing for our garden. Right now all I have are 7 tomato plants, but we bought the materials (minus the soil) to build a raised bed and turn the dog run into a partial greenhouse.
Our fencing, pre-assembly.
Teamwork!
Fencing up!
Kevin dug out a 30" X 72" plot for the raised bed, but we haven't had a chance to build it just yet.
However, we've managed to put together a nice little campfire site, (picture me rock hunting and hauling them to the pit with not a wheelbarrow in sight) complete with four lawn chairs we found at the Goodwill for $5 and a pretty great stump. We've been enjoying drinking our morning coffee out here and roasting (tofurkey) hot dogs around the fire. It's like a second living room!
And thanks to our friends Annika and Brandon, we also have a wood pile.
Christmas gift idea: a chainsaw.
Oh, and of course we had to have this convenience for everyone.
If you look around the property, we're adding little things here and there. We've decorated the garden bed around the house with stones, similar to the rock garden we had at our old place. There are at least 5 bird feeders, and I hope to build a bat house eventually.
I didn't even notice Kevin had hung this on a tree until its yellow eyes caught me by surprise.
I literally jumped when I saw it.
Have a happy Monday, friends!
