Rain, Rain Go Away!

Perhaps I spoke too soon about sunshine in my last blog :(  


I just can't believe this soggy weather we've been having for the last two weeks.  Our backyard is a mud rink and Jason's trailer loads of dirt into the backyard have destroyed the lawn (with the truck spinning out).  We can't really get much done in this weather!
   
Before the weather changed to wet and grey... here are some of the projects we were up to:


 

I am so excited.  Jason is building our second green house.  This one is more than twice the size of our makeshift greenhouse built a couple years back. The new greenhouse will be for growing all our tomatoes and peppers :)  All is needed now is a dry day to put the cover over the frame, build a door and some air/circulation flaps.  

 

Before it got wet and cold, I started transplanting our seedling trays into the greenhouse raised beds.

  

Here is a before and after shot of one of the many 'beautification' projects happening around our place, as we prepare our place for a string of summer guests this 2011 (as we are getting married in August).  You can also see (by the picture below) that I have been busy "crafting" for that event too :)
