how to keep the dog out of the garden...

Well, there may be other solutions, but when you have a handy husband, he can whip this out in a few hours.

We got everything planted.
Taylor LOVED helping.

We love our backyard in the spring and summer.
Especially this corner, complete with the sandbox Dave put in for the kids last summer.
I'll be sad when this tree isn't purple anymore.
And we added flowers to our hanging pots.
I went with PURPLE and WHITE this year.


Taylor and Mason both got some Easter money from Great Aunt Barb and Uncle Jim.
Taylor used her money to buy some flower seeds.
She picked purple zinnias.
And Daddy let her have her very own pot.
She planted the seeds...
and watered them...

and several days later she decided to dig them all up and stir the dirt all around.
Maybe we'll try again in a few days.

That is the cutest little fence! AND it has a great purpose too :) Everything looks great-You've inspired me to get to work on my yard makeover posts! Our Redbud lost all the purple buds during the rain last week. It's not purple and pretty anymore, so I'm sad!
