Haven't made it out to the Thread Shed...yet


We are finishing up landscaping...





this time in the front yard...





The bark dust will keep down the weeds...






and keep the beds from drying out this summer...






The soaker hoses are in place...





The rhodies are mulched too...





We are out of bark dust.....YES!





The yearlings watched the yard work from the fence
