$22 Backyard Makeover
Little projects can make a big difference! Our little back patio makes me smile. There's still quite a bit that could be done in our backyard but seeing flowers out there now brightens it up. There's a little spot for a garden right in front of the garage that we hope to use starting maybe next spring. Here's the after shot....
And here's the before....
And here's one more of our cutie... Our old house goes off the market at midnight tonight. Looks like we'll be renting it starting mid-August. Not the result we hoped for but it's something we're willing to try for a year. Hopefully the market will be better next summer. Our plan is to hold off on major renovations at the new house (bummer) but at least we won't be paying two house payments anymore.

Wow, Ezra only cost $22?! What a deal!! just kidding...the new flowers sure do brighten things up! It will be fun for Ezra to go outside and water them every day, eh?! Get a little work ethic instilled while they are young I say! :0)

Sorry to hear about your old house....fingers crossed it will move quickly the next time you list it!!
