warm weather!
well folks…the weather sure has taken a turn for the better lately. it’s been sunny and around 70 degrees. our lawn is even in the process of turning green. alot of our other neighbors here in suburbia have had their lawns aerated…maybe if i walk around in homemade golf shoes it will do the same thing? we’ll see….
anyhoo…several weekends ago we went in search of patio furniture. we found LOTS that we liked, but seeing as we need to spend some moolah on more patio pavers to even have a useable patio, we opted for a wal-mart sale lawn swing. 🙂
here’s what it looked like when shawn set it up, note: this is a stock photo from wal-mart, not our real backyard:

i wasn’t real happy with the color scheme so i painted the frame black, and reupholstered the cushion/swing. and thanks to an early birthday present from my mom, we also have a bbq! here come bbq tofu dogs and grillers!
here’s eric setting it up:
and here’s the swing all spruced up!
the pups are sure enjoying all the extra time outside. jabba in particular! he likes to just lay on the lawn and sunbath. unfortunately, leia has to be VERY well supervised because she puts everything in her mouth.
as you can see, we have a lot of pebbles in the yard. we’re going to relocate some to make our patio bigger, eventually. and try to make it a bit more homey. flowers especially. and hopefully a gazebo because we get so much hot hot sun and a gazebo is cheaper than trees. 🙂
anyhoo…that’s all folks!
