We're ready to entertain!

This is the view from the patio. My garden is on the left and the firepit on the right. We haven't mowed the grass yet because you have to wait 2 weeks and the mower needs a little work. It's so nice to sit on the chairs when the sun is going down and the backyard is completely shaded. We played kickball for FHE lastnight and I think the girls have forgiven us for giving away the trampoline. :)
We planted a lemon, orange and mandarin tree. There are also african daisies, lantana and marine heliatrope that smells like vanilla. Mmmmm!

In our garden we are growing zuccini, squash, tomatoes, cantaloup, watermelon, strawberries, and red bell peppers.


It's too hot now (supposed to be 100 degrees today!) to light a fire or do any dutch oven cooking. But next season, we'll be roasting marshmallows every night! S'mores with the Moores. :)

  4. I never had a yard that green in AZ! I used to love the huge dead patches because I could skip those while I was mowing. The yard takes on a whole different meaning when you're a Dad.
