Distractions

This is a post meant to distract you from the lack of work on the bungled-house lately. Actually, we've been doing plenty on the yard, thanks to the Friends School plant sale bounty we recently brought in.
This is my expanded garden. It used to be about a foot wide and about 3/4 as long. It's been quadrupled. We are growing lots of edibles this year, including grapes, blueberries, watermelon, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, strawberries, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, currants, rhubarb, carrots, beans, peas... yum.


Now, you might say, "Boy, Sarah and Kevin, your water bills are going to skyrocket with all of that stuff to water!"

Not with this!
It was my birthday present from Kevin. We got it at the Reuse-it Center. By the way, if anyone has any advice on how to get it to seal, let me know. We can get it to fill about half-way, but it still has see-through slits.


Finally, to distract you further from our lack of starting on the siding project, pictures of officially finished fence.
Look at that beautiful gate!
And what a beautiful section! The top rail is the newest addition.Last but not least: Dog Enjoying Fence.
