After another failed attempt at getting Trevor’s hair cut, we decided to cut our losses and go look around for a bike trailer. So far this one is the favourite. It is a bit on the pricey side so we are looking at our options. I have been keeping an eye on postings at work to see if anyone is selling these but they are so expensive and useful once you have them that people who have gone through the trouble of buying one keep them for years.
Other than that, I got some digging done and planted a few daylilies between the driveway and the path. Daylilies grow like crazy so, once I am done they should take over in a year or two. I have a lot of landscaping to do, particularly on the far side of the house where we will completely redo the area and perhaps put in a play structure or a sandbox. We will need to fence this part of the yard from the main back yard which I don’t know if we’re going to be able to do fully this year. I still need a good idea for the area in front of the fence because it has been completely taken over by weeds. We are going to put in a door as well so a little path is in order.
On the other hand, with all the other responsibilities I have, I should not be spending more than 3 hours a weekend on it. I will probably put in a bit more time in the spring and do less in the summer.
Daylilies are my kind of plants. Not having much of a green thumb I love their resiliency and their beauty. It sounds like you have alot “scheduled” for your springtime yardwork. I noticed you may be looking to add a play structure at some point and, working for a swingset company, I thought I better drop you a quick line.
At CedarWorks we build custom swingsets with beautiful backyards in mind. A large plastic swingset probably wouldn’t fit in with the vision you have for your yard! Our sets range from small castles to modest towers. Just check out the site when you have time and I am sure you will like what you see.
They are made from rot resistant Northern White Cedar and are chemical free, requiring no finishing or chemical applications. They are safe and add to rather than distract from your landscaping.
I could go on and on….but will stop there at the risk of overwhelming you with my enthusiasm 🙂
I hope you have a productive spring and a relaxing summer!
