Patio Bliss

Scott, the boys and I spent pretty much the entire weekend outside enjoying the wonderful weather. Most of the time was spent on my wonderful Mother's Day gift - getting the patio and garden ready for the summer. 

Last year, our garden quadrupled the crop from our 2009 garden. Considering the output was a whopping two tomatoes that year, that's not saying much. We decided to move the raised bed we built a few years ago closer towards the house so it would get more sunlight.Tyler had a blast helping me plant and water everything.

We also spruced up the deck with some new furniture. Here's what it looked like before...


Pretty sad, right?

Well, here is the after!




I absolutely LOVE it! Scott and I celebrated our hard work Saturday evening by grilling out surf and turf and eating outside on the new setup.

We also got the herbs planted.


Ready to watch our plants grow and can't wait to enjoy everything later in the summer!
