Back Yard


We're getting our backyard done!! I'm so excited, we've only lived here for nearly 2 years. This has been a project and a half, (and a hernia, by the way!)
Finally!
Fence and sod next week, still undecided on seed or sod, any thoughts?
Give me opinions people, I'm looking at cost of course, but then I have 5 kids to consider, can we play on it relatively soon?

We REALLY need to work on our backyard, too. I vote for sod. We layed sod in our backyard ourselves. It wasn't bad. We ran out and didn't have enough to finish the area we had planned. Then we were so lazy that we didn't get any more and the sod we layed took over. It covered the area we needed! Bonus! We do have a fence and sod, but ask me if we have any plants and I'll politely turn my head and ask how your mother has been. Baby steps. I can't wait to see your finished product. I hope you'll post pics!

Uugg, Our back yard is awful right now and I was so hoping to get it ready to play in by spring. I don't think there is a chance of that happening now but maybe by summer. Love the rock wall. We have lots of work to do. I'm with Carol. Post pics when it's done!

4-H Modeling and the Wardrobe Malfunction

Sincerely 'fro me to you and Vintage Thingies Thursday ! Kristen over at We are THAT family has a blogging carnival going on Thursdays, and she asked for bloggers to share a story from our past, something that won't probably make it into a scrapbook because we can't find our crinkle-cut scizzors or some mouse peed on the pictures or whatever reason. Apron Queen also has a carnival goin on called Vintage Thingies Thursday, I thought since I am so good at multi-tasking, I'd roll two posts into one and call this story both; an embarrassing story from my past as well as vintage. Now if you think that those bangs aren't vintage, and that, "Oh My! Would you look at that zipper!" I don't know what is! So, this is my story... Fall 1978, it was the beginning of my modeling “career.” It all began at the Western Idaho Fair, on the exhibitor’s building main stage, or rather behind the main stage. There I was waiting for an absolutely dreamy Junior Future Farmers...

Two Tasks

How hard can it be, I ask? I had two things to do before I put the boys down for a nap. I gathered my keys and the trash and out the door I went, hurrying so that Boo wouldn't be climbing on the baker's rack before I came back inside. Or maybe calling China on my cell phone. Run outside, do the jobs, come back in. Quick. I put the dirty diaper in the mailbox.

As if I didn't have enough on my plate...(that must be the understatement of the year)I'm jumping in. I was just going to sit back and watch the clues unfold. But I've gotten sucked in! I'm doing this. I love Bonnie Hunter's quilts. They are everything that appeals to me, colorful, scrappy, frugal with lots of great details. I love her motto about "ugly" fabrics, "If it's still ugly, you just didn't cut it small enough!" Once the first clue came out I knew I had to play along. I love green and pink together. It is all over my house in different shades and combinations. My poor husband has to sleep in a froo-froo bedroom. Which he does willingly to keep my happy. (The first time I saw him, he was wearing a pink Izod button down shirt.) [swoon!] Yet, I digress. So, I'll post my progress here. I'll put up a picture as soon as step one is completed. Ok, I'm excited now! Eating is overrated, isn't it? "It's Campbell...
