Gardening

   A while back I blogged about enjoying the summer with PJ while gardening. Well, as promised, here are the BEFORE and AFTER pictures of our outdoor living space!

AFTER:

My beautiful pots. Thanks to my older sister for helping me pick out flowers:)!

PJ enjoying the backyard. 

   Mark and I have never really had a "yard" space before. We did have balconies in our previous two apartments...unfortunately the first balcony was a safety hazard and our second balcony was quite small. At least we did have some nice pots during the Summer on our second balcony but we have never been able to garden like this before! Mark used to work in landscape and really seemed in his element cutting out the garden and planting plants. It was really a nice experience gardening with him. I look forward to many more years and backyards worth of gardening together :). 

   Anyways, we have really enjoyed sitting on our patio enjoying the sunshine, warmer weather and beautiful garden and pots. I also particularly enjoy sitting there in the afternoon (while PJ naps) watching Danielle chase after two of her very cute (but sometimes mischievous) children!
