New Roof

The roof is finally finished! It took two days of work with about five people working on it. Our choices were light brown, dark brown, light gray and dark grey, so we picked light brown to match our back deck. Here is a before picture, in which you can see the tar my husband put on the slope because we had a leak:


And here is an after picture, but the flowers haven't bloomed yet...

A Larger Garden

We just got done making our garden larger. Not enough tomatoes last summer. We already had basil, oregano, tomatoes, onions, and rosemary last year. We planted Brussels sprouts but they didn't work out, eggplant, cabbage and peppers that never grew, and leeks that I don't know if they grew or not. So now we added more tomatoes and onions, marigolds to keep the bugs away, two different kinds of lettuce, and some more flowers around the yard. We left space for peppers and stuff. My dad dug out the grass and then he and my husband put up the lattice around the deck.



Here's the before picture in case you were curious.
