Weekend Project!





With Tony gone Ron and I have found some spare time during nap time and early bedtime to do some home improvement! Two weekends ago Ron and I were sitting around watching HGTV, ok I was watching HGTV, it gave us some motivation to change the look of our front yard. So we went down the road to the Nature's Choice store and bought some river rock and some retaining wall blocks We dug up all the mulch in our front yard and moved it to the back yard. We moved some plants around and put most of the river rock down. The front of our house looks completely different. We had some left over rock and decided we wanted to make a rock pond. We already had a "pond" in our backyard that we hated to take care of so we got creative. We were going to do this as our anniversary gift because we figured it would cost a ton of money but, we spent less than $100.00 total and that was for the front and the backyard. We made a cute little fountain that will require no upkeep and I don't have to worry about Riley falling in it or mosquito's taking up residence in our backyard. Look out Martha Stewart here comes the Petersen's!!
