Nothing To Do With Little Man

Yep, you read right. This post has absolutely no pictures or funny stories about Austen. It does however have pictures of the cause for my neglected laundry. First of all you should know it has been raining like crazy here for days and days, so yard work has been difficult.

This is a picture from our porch of one of the afforementioned rainstorms.Anyway, we have had a plantless mound of dirt in the backyard for almost four years now. I really didn't know what to plant there, but it annoyed me everytime I looked back there. My mom was getting rid of a bunch of plants from her backyard, so I decided to take some and fill up the empty mound. It was hard work, but I LOVE it!!! It made such a big difference back there and now everytime I walk by it I smile. I'll take this oppurtunity to show off my work.

It looks better in person, but unless you're coming over, a picture will have to do!! Oh and don't let Brian take any credit because I did it ALL! (Thanks for the plants mom!)

Why stop there???? I planted some annuals in the front too!

I can't wait until they all fill in.

AND I did all this under threat of attack from the robin who made a nest in our backyard. Her eggs finally hatched and now we have three cute little babies in the nest. I took this picture of them but they are camouflaged very well, so look hard and you might be able to see the three little heads.
