So I had a chance to hang out with Art last week for a few days. I fell in love with his house while I was there. So much personality in this little house. It had 10 foot ceilings with the little windows above the doorways and the most interesting iron doorknobs. It had big windows- they almost stretched from floor to ceiling. And the light fixtures were delightful.
But my favorite part of the house was the stairs. I loved all the windows surrounding them. My dog, Saydie, loved to park herself on the stairs and look out the window.

A Day With Heather
Last week my friend Heather came out to Utah from Nebraska. We spent a day going back to Whitesides Elementary visiting old friends and to see how much our kids had grown in the past year. It was so fun to see everyone again.After we left the school, we decided to take a drive up to Causey Reservoir. It is one of her favorite places and we wanted to see how much water there was because we have had such a wet year. It was absolutely beautiful up there. This top picture was taken from the dam looking downriver.

The Weed Garden?
So we got so busy working with our park strip that the garden area got away from us. By the time I was able to get to it...it was hip high...Lol!
After getting it all moved out onto the trailer to be hauled off to the recyclers, Walter pullled out the weed whacker and cut all the weeds down to ground level....then I followed with the tiller. What a difference. School gets out this week.....and then I plan on planting.
Walter had a pile of metal stacked in the garden that all the weeds had grown up through.

Tearing Out the Park Strip
We live on a corner lot, so there is a lot of park strip at our house. We got tired of mowing and watering this part of the yard, so last fall we tore out all the grass.
This spring we planted 8 Lollipop Crabapple trees and filled the area in with nine tons rose quartz. It was exhausting work....
...but I am quite happy with the result!
