I have winter fever. Bad. Saturday was simply a beautiful day. I took full advantage of it. Laura, Daniel and I had a picnic outside then made a few improvements to my back yard.
First order of business was getting the little garden spot ready. Dan can dig 20 times faster than I can! He got that 10x6 foot plot dug up in less than 20 minutes. It took me that long to do one shovel row along the 6 foot side ...
Daniel loves to swing. His face lights up and he looks so contented sitting there in a swing. I decided to make one for him. I sweet talked my way into getting holes drilled in a board, got the rope ready and then I realized I had no idea how to tie the knots so they wouldn't unravel. So much for my surprise for Daniel. Oh well, I can rarely keep my surprises anyway - a trait inherited from my dad. I showed Daniel the wares and he scrambled up that tree like a squirrel. Here's Laura on the swing. Daniel was in the house programming by the time I remembered pictures.
Laura and I got some spray paint and attacked the table and chairs. I wish I took a before picture because they were very sad looking. They look a million times better. Now for the rest of the yard! As you can see, it still needs a lot of work ...
