Reality

The littlest was up late last night. Guess it's time to tidy up and move the majority of the toys up to the bonus room. It's hard to sleep in a room full of toys . . .

Projects

Our itty bitty side yard was once at a nice slope which meant dirt was piled up agains the fence and kept creeping into the neighbor's yard. Bill conquered this problem by getting it level and building a small retaining wall. The plan was to put in a small vegetable garden, but there is minimal sun back here and nothing grew. Maybe we'll put in a shade garden or a path with a little playhouse at the end. Or maybe a small skateboard path. . . We'll see. There are plenty of ideas for small side yards on Pinterest. 
Another project Bill recently tackled (with the help of a generous coworker) was putting in this cement pad for our garbage cans. Basic stuff in general, but this is a big deal for me. I like having the garbage cans out of sight, adding to general curb appeal. Anyway, we've lived here for almost four years now so we're getting to projects slowly, but thoughtfully.
