Last weekend we were running around picking up some things for the house after an awesome church service and then lunch at one of our favorite places.  We walked through the home and garden section (we always like to do that) checking out all the cool stuff and talk about what would be awesome to have for our house.  Well we ran across a bunch of outdoor dining sets that looked really nice. We pondered for a bit on what we wanted to do and continued our shopping.

Now that I think about it, the backyard is the last thing we really put money into.  It’s the last thing any of our friends or guests see or visit, so it’s the last to get any type of attention.  One of these days though I’m going to change it so we can spend more time out back in the nice weather then on the inside (except of course when it’s over 100 out)

My backyard to be really specific.  It’s unreal this winter and spring.  The weeds are just taking over.  I have a huge surplus or them trust me.  Last week I tried to drop some fertilizer down and my battery powered sprayer died, so today at lunch I went out and got a new one (not battery powered), some new fertilizer and some heavy duty weed killer.  Now the drawback, it started raining tonight, ugh..!!  And that’s the forecast for the next few days too.

So this weekend I will have to dedicate some time and get this “Growing” problem in control and get it ready for the spring.  The grass has barely started so now is the time.  Well actually I should have done a heavy duty weed kill a few weeks ago, but I’m a procrastinator.

The other day I was out back working on the yard (cause it really needs some help) and I stopped and stared at the back patio for quite a few minutes. I was looking at the patio furniture and I think it might be time for a change.

When we first moved in we bought some cool stuff that wasn’t very expensive, well it was, but maybe I should say the quality wasn’t as good. Now after two years the top part of the fabric is fading away and if you flip the cushions over it’s like night and day. lol..

I also should do a few more things like cover the grill, add a garden hose holder, and I can’t forget about the weeds. Those need to be killed also. I hate looking at them…

Now I just need to get in to a watering schedule so I can green up the grass and complete the entire backyard look, at least for now.
