Hey, folks!

The new outside living room is beginning to take shape. I have erradicated the lilac (lots of digging - that was fun in the warm sun!) and tomorrow we will remove the debris, do more digging and levelling and try to figure out what our temporary cost-free plan is. We'd like to use the area this year, but it will probably be next year or the year after before DH installs the outdoor gas firepit, and we can afford to put proper rocks down, etc. We might decide to pay a little less down on our debts in order to do the rock this year, but we'll be sticking with the cheap plastic furniture for now.....etc.

And the peach tree looks a fright. I bet it has been 8 years or longer since it has been pruned. Since we have no idea what we are doing, it may not recover. We enjoyed having a few peaches last year, but I could easily do with twenty peaches or so, not the hundreds we got last year. Sad thing was, the tree lost several large branches due to the weight. Apparently we should have thinned the peaches out.

Time to get the veggies cooking. BBQ steak, too. yummy
