Realizations and A Vegetable Garden

I realized a few weeks back why I have such a hard time blogging. I know this will sound dumb but it took me this long to finally figure it out so bare with me, blogging is like writing in your journal - for other people to read. I know, sad that I just figured that one out. But really though, the last time I wrote in my journal was shortly after my mom passed away, so you can see how good I am at doing that. I've always been lazy about writing in my journal so I guess that's why I've taken forever to finally get something posted here! Like I always say, I'll try to do better.

I wanted to post some pics of our latest project. Mostly as motivation to get outside and finish it but also so everyone could see the fruits of our labors. We've been wanting to get some planter boxes in the back yard for a raised bed vegetable garden for a while now, but as we always do we've procrastinated. Last weekend we were in Sam's and found a great deal (again) on some pre-fab boxes so we got two. I say again because they had the same boxes at the same price at the beginning of spring but we decided to wait, then they were gone. So we went home and put them together and there they have sat, for a week now. Alan did try to start pulling the grass up where we wanted them, but didn't make it as far as he'd like. So I get to finish it up today so that when he gets home we can get our dirt and plants. Here's a few before pics (well, before I get started digging).


You can see how far Alan got. And you can see all the dead spots where Bizzy has destroyed the grass. Another project to work on!

So I guess I should get started. How sad is it that I'm blogging to avoid the very project I am blogging about! It's just so dang humid!!
