Spring is finally almost here – at least where I live in Indiana – although it sure took it’s good sweet time in getting here this year. Since the weather is starting to warm up, it is time to take a look outside and see what needs to be done. For me that means sprucing up the garden and outside play area for the kids.
I’ve been thinking about a number of home improvements for around the outside. The first one I’ve been considering is a trampoline for my kids. I have to say that it seems to be a good idea (other than possible emergency room visits). My kids would love it, but I think even more importantly the neighbor kids would love it too, which means I can keep an eye on what is going on.
Also, I’ve been considering putting up a garden shed. Like many people I want to grow some of my own veggies this year and I think it is time to give my gardening stuff a new home. So the question is do I use garden shed plans or do I go with one of the pre-built Rubber Maid kinds? I am still not sure. I know that I like the way the wood ones look better though, so I am leaning that direction.
Finally, I’ve been thinking about sprucing up my flower garden with garden statues. I’ve been looking around and I have been thinking that I might order a foo dog or a funky gargoyle. I suppose my tastes run toward the strange, because it seems to me that many people would rather have cats or kids, but I like to stand out.
If I do manage to get all of these things done this season it will be nothing short of a miracle. I am fairly busy raising kids, going to girl scout meeting and writing. But I think these three things are manageable and they will make my outdoor garden space nicer than ever.
