Backyard Fun

To get ready for spring we got a tree in December from a local guy who picked it up for us as part of a fund raiser for Columbus Square Park which is just a block from us. The city and local groups helped fund a major renovation with a new dog run, playground, community building, and new baseball field. Our little Magnolia Grandiflora should bloom sometime this Spring. We also got a new block wall in February before our old one ended up in the neighbors kitchen! It had been leaning a bit and seemed to get much worse this winter, since there was no foundation under the block! Bryan also got to play with some power tools this last weekend building a new wooden door to replace the sheet of plywood, which was our temporary fix. I planted some more flowers and tried to weed our slightly rock filled patch of yard! Since it was all concrete just 2 summers ago, I feel like we have made great progress!
