The month of July has begun the
"working on it"
projects.
It began with putting in a culvert pipe for the new driveway.
The pipeliner brought home a back-hoe.
We had it ready to go in a couple of hours.
Even after hand digging around the phone line that runs right by it.
Wouldn't have been a good thing to hit on the 4ht of July weekend!
Then began the process of putting in the drive-way.
I have decided to call it a lane.
It is long enough.
This will lead to the spot where the new shed is to be built.
Yep, right there in front of the big dirt pile.
Next we cleared a spot for my shed.
The shed is being built.
I am hoping it gets delivered by the end of the month.
I can hardly wait to see it!
Our next project was tearing out the brick sidewalk to the front door.
The bricks just didn't look quite right there.
But we saved them to make a sidewalk in front of my new shed.
This is the pipeliners work in progress.
The grandson calls it the vroom-vroom truck.
Because that is about all it does right now!
Of course the garden is always a
work in progress.
This is the first year garden.
I am going to be adding lots of compost to it this coming fall!
Today I am working on planting more flowers.
My favorite green house is going out of business.
The last day is Saturday.
I found lots of great deals this morning!
We are hoping that by the end of August our
working on it projects
will be complete.
Then September will be our
putting up our feet and relaxing month!
I doubt it though!

Oh my goodness!! You have been busy!! Love all the work y'all have done.....can't wait to see the shed. I would be so excited also....I want one!!! I think you deserve a rest in September...:)
ReplyDeleteSeems there is always work to do when you move into a new place. Trying to make it your own. Looking forward to some rest! lol...
DeleteLots already done, the garden is doing well, and September will be appreciated! We are hoping July is our get it done month and we can have a bit of vaca in August.....
ReplyDeleteSeems like July is always project month! I can't wait ti harvest some tomatoes!
DeleteYou've tackled some big projects! Can't wait to see your new shed ... looks like it'll be a nice size judging from the clearing. Sorry to hear your favourite garden store is closing, I would hate to lose my favourite garden store (what would I do on a Sunday afternoon?!). Enjoy all the new improvements you've worked on ... I doubt you'll be putting your feet up in September either, there's always something more that needs doing ;) Wendy x
ReplyDeleteI doubt we will be putting our feet up either! But one can only hope! lol..
DeleteOh my goodness, you are getting a lot done. Maybe you could send the pipeliner here in September =)
ReplyDeletelol...he would probably go anywhere that lets him get on the backhoe and move dirt!
DeleteLOOK at you go pal!!! I can't wait to see that shed! What a wonderful spot for all of your gardening things! And that driveway is a lane!!! HA! It is huge!!!! Way to go on scoring plants...I find that I am always on the hunt for annuals this time of year to brighten things up a bit. You are busy busy! A job well done and your garden is awesome! Nicole ....happy weekend to you!!!
ReplyDeleteI have found such great deals on annuals and perennials already! There is still so much summer left to enjoy them. The new shed will probably be full as soon as it get here too! Have a great weekend yourself girlfriend!!
DeleteI agree with the others, that's a lot of work. My husband would love to have that "digger" for a few days around here. Looks like you are really making it your own. Have a great weekend. Our rural post office is only open a few hours - I had to get ready for the church rummage, but will let you know about the package.
ReplyDeleteThat backhoe comes in handy! So glad work lets him take it home every once in awhile. No hurry on the bottles. When ever its convenient for you. I just appreciate that you are doing it for me! :) Have a great weekend yourself!
DeleteThat is all going to be so beautiful when you get it done!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I sure hope so!
DeleteOh my . . . busy, busy projects ahead . . .
ReplyDeleteMighty fine garden you have there!
Look forward to following along to see the progress . . .
At least we have had nice weather to get these projects going. I am happy with my garden so far. It is always iffy when planting in a new space. Have a great weekend!
DeleteSummer is a busy time, I just wish it would slow down a bit, seems to be flying by! Good luck with your projects!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is flying by! I hate to think about cold weather just yet!
DeleteLots of projects going on....you sure are busy! Love your garden!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The hubby always likes to keep himself (me) busy! lol..
DeleteYou made me tired just reading this. LOL! Everything will look fantastic when you're done. And I'm sure more projects will pile up by September. They always do. Hopefully, you will have time to rest and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteFarmhouse hugs!
Its just hard to look at the mess until the projects get done! We sure will be ready for a break!
