I have been personally discouraged about the extent to which the property and yard work has gotten away from me. I have a list of, oh, so many, projects...inside and out. But I have been able to complete just a few tasks to move things in the right direction. Once upon a time, when I was younger.....I was so good at the adage of "A Place for Everything.....and Everything in its Place"!

Building raised beds for the vegetable garden to make better use of limited space and add some visual effect. The earthworms love the warm raised beds and really keep the soil turned over during the growing season. Leaf mulch is used in the aisle paths over a weed cloth.

Repairing and updating the outdoor balance beam cover for my youngest gymnast, Itsy Bit. There are lots of handstands, roundoffs, and walkovers going on in the yard as well.
