To stay at home all weekend long is a rarity for us as of late. This past weekend we vowed to
have some quality "couple time" and just work on the backyard projects... which turned out to
be one of the most rewarding undertaking. Once more grass is seeded, plants bought, and
dirt removed - I'll have to share the finished result. As for now, a glimpse into our weekend.
Green sun tea with fresh mint & lemons + Lemon sorbet = the best things to enjoy on a hot day!
This weekend also marked the start of our ultra marathon training... Lots of running braids will be
happening this summer. It's the only way I can handle having such long hair on sweltering days like
this past Sunday! Makes me scared to see how hot August will be if it's already been in the 90's!
Digging out our old, crumbling retaining wall to replace it with the above gem was the major project we
accomplished this weekend. It took way longer than I expected, but turned out perfectly. A bonus
touch, Zach put together the arbor he had built for our wedding and placed it on the pathway to
the lower level of our yard. Such a lovely reminder of a perfect day.
Hope everyone has a killer week. Any fun plans coming up?
Enjoy the sunshine and the feeling of spring bliss!
Looks like a fun weekend! That yellow ice cream looks deeeelicious!

Love it! I can't wait to see pictures of those beautiful gardens! Are you going to plant a vine on the arbor? :)
