I sure could use another 3 days off
This weekend was one of those times when I need a few more days off to rest up from all the work from the weekend. We were up on the early side every day of this long, holiday weekend and it seems like we didn’t sit down until it was time to go to bed.
Our main project this weekend was sprucing up the yard. Our first goal was to do something with the small area between the pool and the air conditioner outside and the picture above is what we came up with. Before, it was just an area where the grass struggled to grow. So we laid down the stepping stones and added some plants that help to block the view of the air condition from the lanai. All in all it turned out very well even it if did take all afternoon on Friday.
On Saturday, we put the finishing touches on some pots we were painting for the yard. We ran errands in between coats while we were waiting for the paint to dry.
On Sunday, we planted flowers into the pots that we painted. We have them set throughout the garden and after we planted the flowers we had to have the pugs pose with them, of course.
We also got a pot to put by the front door to keep Buddha company.
Much to the neighbors amusement we have a little concrete fire hydrant in the front yard for the pugs and all the small dogs in the neighborhood to use. We gave it a good power washing and painted it to match the pots.
How was your weekend?
Love the fire hydrant too.. what a good idea!

Everything looks beautiful! All of your hard work certainly paid off! Love the little hydrant…haha. Always so adorable to see all 3 together posing for the camera!
The boys and I were much, much lazier than you so we won’t admit to lounging most of the weekend away…but we, too, could use 3 more days…you know, to recoup from all our…um, activities.
