More weekend lessons
We spent most of last weekend working on our house. Saturday morning I went to the Oakland County Farmers Market for the first time since we moved here years ago, and was really impressed with all the beautiful flowers for sale. I spoke to a number of sellers there, got some great gardening advice, and bought some new flowers to plant in the front yard. I spent most of the rest of the weekend working in the front yard weeding, transplanting some of our flowers, planting new begonias, trimming trees, and digging up a dead rose bush. Dan helped me pull out the 30 feet of trim along the side of the yard so we could plant some grass seed and blend it in with the rest of the yard. The final result - the yard looks crazy good now!
Dan spent most of his afternoon re-doing the floor of the patio, (and getting very sticky) with some new vinyl tiles. Looks great!
Lessons learned:
- Spend some time mapping out the yard before buying flowers as to avoid buying WAY too many
- People actually still drink Christian Brothers brandy?!? (found an empty bottle littered in the yard)
- Local hardware store closes ridiculously early on Sundays
- Birds love eating grass seed
