Today was a day filled with much joy and happiness.

After living in our home for more than 15 years I finally decided to do something about the backyard, I was so tired of opening the door and seeing nothing but grass and wanted to make it more into a place I would like to hang out in from time to time.

It all started when I picked up a large bougainvillea plant in December, I picked up one more pant a couple of weeks ago and now the flood gates have opened.

I put in a trellis, two elevated plant beds, and one large plant bed for the vegetables that I hope to use to attract the bunnies.

This morning my mother and I paid a visit to our local Home Depot and stocked up on vegetable plants, herb plants, and flowering plants. We also picked up a few supplies and then got to work. We spent the rest of the afternoon gardening in the backyard and drinking a few beers.

My mother-in-law was also a huge help and thanks to her efforts I did not go past my physical limits today.
