Spring has sprung

We've been busy as little... well you know! Jen has been working herself silly w/ a major landscaping project. She decided she needed a new flower bed but also wanted to take one out. Her plan was to remove the river rock edging from a bed on the front of the house and build a rock retaining wall in the back. I took her several days but she got it finished and created one heck of a muddy mess in the process. You know she did all the work during the recent monsoon season!

This is the bed she took the rocks from. Eventually, it will be much smaller and have a tree in the middle. We haven't decided on the tree: I voted river birch and Jen doesn't know what she wants? Any thoughts? Leave us a comment w/ you recommendation or vote, PLEAESE!!!

The bed in front of the house. It will eventually have the bush, on right, removed a stepping stone walkway, some sod, a tree, and shrink in size.

Beside the laundry room construction project, I've been busy too. It was round #2 of Amish Friendship bread. I have to awake really early to get in bread making mode. As you remember from a couple older posts; it's a very time consuming process. But I gotter' done!!!

The bread is SOOO good! Yes we made it and it is very tasty--I can't wait to make some more. For now we are just "mushing the bag" of our lil' starters!
