Working hard on my yard...

Yes, I'm working super hard on my yard, trying to get it ready for the summer months here in NY.

We love to be in our yard all summer long...

Here is the entrance to the backyard all ready.  We finally planted on the left hand side and with perhaps the addition of some impatients to give the walkway some color, I think we are done.

Yes, that's a white pvc fence, our neighbor waited patiently until we put up our wood fence before they went and put up their pvc.  We discussed putting one fence to divide the space and share the cost, I guess  they went the other way, regardless makes my space look nice! Thank u!!!! ha 

Here is the back, we planted by the fence to give the yard some character.  I love how it looks, again we might add some color with flowers, but maybe we wont.  We are trying to grow our grass because we cut our tree...I hope we get something before the summer hits!

I am planting flowers on those pots on the stands to give that corner some much needed pop of color and to greet our guests with some color

I really hope we get some grass growing in these spots!

There was once a tree here...I hope we get some grass here now!

You can see the door now where guest will enter through the pathway, I'm actually sitting on the swing across the yard, we plan on moving the swing to the corner, we have a special piece coming in right here.

And this is the corner where we plan to move the swing too.  We have a door back there but that's just for emergencies, and for when anything goes over the fence, a ball that sort of thing, we have no neighbors behind us! Yippee

awwww color....see my covered patio? yeah we fenced it because we don't want our dog to do its business in the yard, trying to steer him away from that, so he goes only on his walks

 And here is my patio table, we need a much bigger one, but that'll be another year.  We plan on getting a gazebo now we do not have a tree for shade

The girls having their first dinner outside...we love doing this in the summer!!! :o)

hhmmmmm my umbrella is kind of crooked, need to fix that...oh there you can see the swing

And my tablecloth, I don't have one that goes right with my furniture I just threw this one on, I think it's fun for now...have to hit HomeGoods and find me the perfect one...

A glimpse of my covered patio, I just pushed everything together, since finally all the furniture that's extra is in the shed.  I have to power wash this patio and paint the ceiling and then it'll be ready for entertaining, you know, I need to paint that tray....I was thinking brown and then destressing it show the white through? what do you think? Oh you see those pretty canisters just got them for mother's day from my sister

And that's all for now. 

I still have more things to take care of, perhaps get a new rug for this space, clear it out a little better

will keep you posted on all my updates

Hope you're having a good day
