Gardening

Yesterday we got stuck into our back garden, which sadly has needed a bit of loving for a while now.

So we weeded the garden, pruned back bushes and chopped out a couple of small trees, and suddenly we have so much more sunlight in our back yard. It looks a lot "cleaner" now as well.

It's still a work in progress. We need to put mulch into the back garden at some point, and we didn't even start on the front garden (which needs weeding and then filling with pebbles) but that's a job for next time...

While we worked hard, our little girl ran around the back yard in amongst the garden clippings, played on the slide and had some play dough time. The kitten went crazy "catching" leaves. I think he thought they were grasshoppers (not that he's ever seen one - he's only 4 months old).

It was really nice to have a morning where you feel like you've worked hard to achieve something that you've been meaning to do for a while.

Now what else is on that "To Do" list...??
