The weather has been beautiful, and today was no exception. As Aaron and I have been discussing our backyard, we both decided that we need a bigger garden space than what we originally put in last year. So we are going to unwrap the back of the garden box and bring it around the corner, so that the garden curves around the corner of the lot on both sides. And the space in the middle seemed ideal for a fire pit. We looked up a few fire pit designs online and found one we liked and that was that. Aaron started working and didn't stop until late into the night. :) It's not quite done yet, but it's going to be awesome when it is.
In the top left picture you can see the outline for where the garden is going to be and the hole for the fire pit. Around the base of the fire pit we are going to put down pavers. I think it will look really nice, and hopefully similar to this picture:
Except instead of the back wall and side pillars, it will be our garden boxes.
The kids were so excited to spend the day outside with Dad. Aaron told me later that Lincoln kept saying over and over, "Dad, today is so different, we've been outside more than we've been inside!" Poor kid. He's been cooped up WAY too long.
In other exciting news, we are now the proud owners of a bright orange wheel barrow. That is all. Stay tuned for the "after" pictures of our fire pit and garden boxes.
