Rewarding weekend

Saturday started with me getting up and getting Dancers car into the dealership for it's service. Almost two years and 23,000 miles on the clock!

When we got home, we buckled down and did all the food preparation for the next week. I cracked off this shot of the fruit salad we make weekly during that



After that we did a trip to Home Depot to buy some new shrubs and some gardening equipment. The shrubs they planted before we moved in have died off in the last year, so we decided to start again.

Today was the work day though. We dug some trenches to lay some edging, dug up the old shrubs and planted the new ones. Laid down some paper to smother the grass, then started mulching. We had 9 cubic feet held back for the job. Turned out we needed a bit more. We ended up dumping almost 21 cubic feet! It looks great now though.

Next job is to finish up the footing of the trees.
