Beautiful Weekend in Oxford

Published by at 10:11 am under House

The weather outside this weekend was beautiful, so we spent most of the weekend outside.

Earlier in the week, John and I put up a Purple Martin Bird House.  You can see it here, no tenants yet, but I will keep you updated on our first attempt at being landlords.

On Saturday, we planted 11 trees, we donated $15 to the National Arbor Day Society, so as a thanks they sent us 11 trees to plant.  We planted them there in the garden because they were bare root trees and only like 12-18inches tall, so we wanted to protect them from the wind, and we fenced in the whole area to hopefully protect them from the deer too.

Then yesterday, I decided that since it was so nice, I needed to do something else outside, so I put lattice up across the front of the pool deck, there were several pieces of lattice that were under the deck, so John and I cut them up and put them across the front.  I think it looks pretty nice.  I think next year or later this fall, we will edge the flower bed across the front of the deck, and add more dirt, but that’s a project for another time.

    Why the interest in Purple Martins? Is this Woody inspired?! ;) Miss you and love you. Sis
