Backyard

After Finn's Tae Kwon Do class, we had lunch and then bought a charcoal grill, 2 grape plants, 2 blueberry plants, 2 different soil mixes, and mulch at Lowe's (^_^) As soon as we got home we started assembling the grill. We were nearing the half-way point when we saw that one part was defective. Jojo had to go back to return it. Good thing he needed to bring in only that part and not the whole thing. It was also a good thing that they had that part in stock. Otherwise, the attendant said he'd have to disassemble the display and give us the part from that.

Meanwhile, I started doing a layout for our garden. Jojo wants to plant fruits and veggies and flowers so the fruits and veggies go at the end (yellow rectangles), the grapes are the 2 small purple rectangles, the flowers are the pink ones on the right, the circle will be some kind of ornamentation (a fountain or something), the rectangle on the left will be a bench, swing, or hammock, and the small squares are stepping stones. And that is one of our grapes. Jojo was in the process of putting mulch when I took this picture.

The blueberries will have to wait to be planted coz we still have to clear out the fruits and veggie area tomorrow. Right now there's a patch of bricks where the previous owners had a small play area. After we clear that, we'll plant the blueberries. Next week we'll probably go to a nursery to shop for the veggies and flowers. Citronella is a must coz the bugs are nasty in the summer! You can't stay out in the yard too long.

So anyway, we finished the grill and covered it up. Jojo also ordered our outdoor dining set online this morning. Not sure when that will get delivered. Once that arrives, we can fully enjoy our backyard! Can't wait for the weather to warm up so that we can open the pool too. Weeeee!!!! (^_^)
