Those of you who don't know me might not be aware that I live with Superman. Howie is Mr. Build and Make Anything. And I mean...anything. After five years here, our house is turning into quite the place to be, in part because my hubby is oh-so-wonderful and can do oh-so-much. Yesterday I mentioned that it might be nice to have a little stone patio out back under the arbor, the very same arbor we were married under almost six years ago. Eventually, I want to have a backyard that feels like the Secret Garden. Weathered. Stone. Mysterious. A bit unruly. That would be a dream. And...after just one day we are a little bit closer. He started this morning and finished this evening and it's already perfect. Keira was quite the little slave driver, overseeing the work in her "job trailer" (aka: teeny, tiny, house). We've been outside the whole day and having a ball. I don't know about where you are, but around here...this weather is just perfect for the soul and very inspiring :)
Haha, doing stone work in crocs. Awesome Howie!!! You two seem to be doing well. We dug up a 1/4 acre of grass for a garden and hauled it off in our new John Deer tractor. Hope to see u two...three soon.
ReplyDeleteooooh, new john deere tractor :) you lucky duck, you. yeah, maybe some day we'll see you again...that would be nice :) as you may know, it's hard enough for howie to wear shoes of any kind, but he does love his crocs!!! how are you??
ReplyDeleteOh I love that you were married under that arbor! Your backyard looks beautiful already, but I do love the sound of the secret, mysterious garden! I love all the trees down the side of the house, and is that a field next door? Perfect :)
ReplyDeletewow, that looks great! I think it is secretly every girl's dream to have a personal secret garden in their yard ( like from the book!) I know I certainly do :)
ReplyDeleteWow, go Howie! How great to have a hubby who can do these kinds of sweet things for you :) He did a nice job too, looks great! And lovely to see a sweet smiling Keira, she's such a cutie.
