Progress ....

So, it rained for the past week. I'm not complaining. It's OR so I am just stating fact. But, we woke up to a beautiful start to what is supposed to be a week or more of sunny 50+ weather. During our errand outing we decided today was a good day to take out the strip of lawn in the front yard. Here's a before picture:

Clearly, this project is not complete! We weren't going for the strip of dirt look! We'll post more (hopefully tomorrow) once we've hit a nursery or two!

Tomorrow we also are going to spend some time on the lawn. It's looking a little beat up ... since we've got NO experience with maintaining a lawn, it may look worse after the fact!

I can't wait until tomorrow to see the flowers in their new bed. Good progress so far. Lawn probably needs to be fertilized.
Have fun planting.

It is a lovely strip of dirt!

(I'm actually being serious -- it's gonna look nice all planted.)

Don't put the flowers in YOUR bed.

Great progress. I will phone you in the a.m. (it's bedtime now) and we can chat about the compost. And Phillipe.

It's always a good time to chat about Phillipe!

OK I'll bite - who is Phillipe?

Phillipe is the waiter from Bouley who the 4 of us all fell in love with We have no idea what his real name was, but we thought it should be Phillipe. I mentioned to Sara yesterday that Mr. Fix-it & I have been missing Phillipe.
