Building the Garden

Meghan is in Colorado visiting Emily and Sara, so she asked that I take pictures as I put together the garden. This is my first time posting to the blog, so here goes nothing!

The planter box is in place. This was the easy part!

A trench was dug and the planter box is recessed into the ground.

The NC clay and grass are tilled. This was the hardest part!

Top soil is added on top.

The top soil and NC clay are tilled together. All done and ready to plant!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a great St. Patrick's Day dinner with Quinn, Kym, and R.C. Quinn gets cuter every time we see her.

Such a cute Irish lass!

My birthday was fantastic. I can't believe I'm 29. My students brought me flowers on Friday, so we have a small flower shop in our living room. It smells fabulous! Here are some shots Michael took of me opening my presents. I was definitely spoiled.

Love the clothes, Mom. I wish you could have been here to open these with me!

I love the sign! Thanks, Ellie!! It's perfect for our family room.

Here are some pictures from our first fire last weekend. We've been waiting to use this fire pit for months. More fun days to come with this puppy.
If you look closely you can seen a mini marshmallow on Michael's stick. It was a good effort.
