So much to do here, but I still think it’s pretty cute!Hopefully this will make a great “before” picture for all of our outdoor projects this Summer.. That’s what’s going on around here right now!

It feels like Monday was finally the first “real” day of Spring.

It’s back to windy and cold right now, but at least it’s green!.This time around, it’s a one day, all the inspiration you can possibly handle, summertime extravaganza!
