The Ongoing Process…

For those of you who don’t know Travis very well, let me tell you a little about him. He can’t sit still. He is always tinkering with something…broken or not. Often times, this drives me crazy! He takes on these huge tasks that occupy much of his time. One such task happens to be our yard. This started when we built our first house in Mississippi. Travis decided to seed our 1 acre lot, plant a garden, build a deck and the fence…all on his own. However, I will be the first to admit, he more than excelled. The garden was a huge success, we spent many days/nights enjoying the deck with friends, Harley appreciated the fence, and we had the best looking yard on the street.

Mississippi before

 

After

Yes, living in MS rubbed off on us and we joined the “above ground pool club”…until it killed the grass. Then the “yard police” made us get rid of it.

Just a small fraction of Trav’s success

When we moved to Kansas, Travis was in charge of the house buying. He did a great job. Picked out a home I loved…with a yard that was not finished and just happened to be on the largest lot in the neighborhood. What does this mean? Travis gets to start all over! Here is a look at his progress so far.

 

He has decided to “cultivate” his perennials from seeds this year.

We have grass! A little longer and Harley will have a yard again. Poor girl.

We are on our way to fresh salsa, pickled okra, pickles, and zucchini bread just to name a few…can’t wait!
