Garden update

Kyle and I finished the landscaping project in the front of the house yesterday. You can see Lainey playing in the birdbath. It felt so nice to be finished and not have any big yard projects hanging over my head. This one has been in the works ever since we bought the house. I am so happy with it. I need a couple more bags of mulch since the end by the birdbath is a little sparse. But all the hard work is done!



I can't wait for the crepe myrtle to bloom! That end will be so pretty!

Lainey gave her thumbs up to the project. She slept thru most of the work. I started about 9:30 Saturday and Kyle came over about 10:30 or 11:00 and helped until it was completed.

Kyle and I started the day Saturday by walking in a 5K (3.2 miles!). He asked me Friday if I would walk it with him and I agreed. I did pretty good. I didn't keep up with "the lady in the pink hat" like he thought I could. I reminded him that this was my first time walking like that and she does it all the time! So much so that her business was probably the original sponsor and the one with the idea! Anyway, we walked about a 15 minute mile and our time stayed consistent. I jogged thru a few intersections and jogged across the finish line with my friend Misty cheering me on. Misty walked with Karen (the pink hat lady) and probably finished at least 15 mintues ahead of us. I could barely stand up in church this morning after I had been sitting so long but I finished the walk and have the shirt to prove it! One of the best accomplishments was that I was not the last one across the finish line. It was fun and a pretty morning. Had to take two extra showers yesterday after all the sweaty things we did but had a great day.

The lilies on the other side are so tall!
