The Housewife Tour 2013 - The Week in Review

Wow - I didn't realize how long it's been - almost a month!

This week was basically back to normal - groceries, errands and the biggest project - yardwork! What a chore, but some good exercise!


What does that entail - ALOT!

• raked the front yard (tons of leaves from the fall)
• washing the porch*
• buying flowers for the porch
• pull weeds in the flowerbeds
• remove some old plants in the flowerbeds
• mulch the flowerbeds
• add topsoil to the liliac bush
• weed & feed the yard*
• place ant traps in the flowerbeds
• change/add downspout extenders
• put out yard decorations in the flowerbed

The end result -

There's still some things I want to do with the front yard.

• expand the bed - since the bushes have grown, the bed needs to be expanded out
• our front yard is sinking and we need to get filled in
• DIY craft - creating a wreath for the front door.  I was thinking about something like this but to match the flowers.
