Our New Piece of Fence!!!

I usually wouldn't blog about something like this, but it is a big thing in the Davidson house! Our fence around our yard is in a definite need of repair! Part of it looks like it is going to fall down when the wind blows there is a big hole about 3 sections long between us and the neighbors and it is just old in general! It has been this way since we moved it and we've planned on fixing it for 3 years now! Well, Richard came home from work on Wednesday and said that he was going to fix part of it that is by our porch. Here it is.....


...this is one of the worst parts. The board at the bottom had totally broke in half and alot of the boards were just falling apart!

When Richard told me that he was going to fix it I thought right we will see about that! He says this alot folks! But I think just to prove that he could do it we all loaded up in the car and headed for the Home Depot! I said that he wasn't going to fix it until this coming Tuesday on his day off! But he must have got a wild hair because he tore the fence down that night! I really didn't think that it would get done so fast but it did. He finished last night and it looks great!

Here is his handy work! This is the first fence that he has ever built and I think that it looks great! I just need to stain it now so that it matches the rest of the fence! I hope that the rest of our poor fence will be able to get done soon that way I could send Trey out to play without worrying that he is running away down the street! He does that alot!

Well not to be out done by Richard I also have done some beautiful yard work myself! I did these wonderful flower beds. I first one is one that we have always had I just added some mulch and I looks beautiful compared to how it looked before! All of our neighbors are putting mulch in their beds so I decided that we couldn't be the only ones with ugly dirt hanging out! ;)

This flower bed I made this year in the backyard I made another one too but it's not done so I didn't want to show it! These turned out so good it took awhile to dig up all the grass but it makes our yard look so cute and homey!
We have been really good about working in the yard this year I especially have! I'm really proud of the work that we have done and hopefully someday it will look perfect, but it is good enough for now!
