Finished outside projects!!

    Fire pit is DONE!! Not too bad considering the benches are made from pallets put together and spray painted to match the garage door and roof (will add cushions later). The actual pit is from the ring around our lilac bush which we used the bricks for here and Kaya and I changed the bush area. The border is left over rock from another project. The table in the left corner is a produce pallet turned sideways to make a table. We left the slats on the back of one pallet to have storage area for hotdog forks. The flower box on the right is wood a neighbor thought was bad and Steve took it..and made a raised bed. We moved some flowers that were starts from another bed and two 1.00 clearance callalillys from Lowes lol We planted a transplanted Voodoo plant (hard to see in this pic) behind the pallet table to help keep bugs down.

  Our rose bush is busting itself this year and climbing like crazy. VERY hard to keep Kaya out of it lol 

 We got Asiatic lilies on a half price sale and planted them in the corner by the compost bin. They may not bloom this year but def will next. Adds some color against the brown wood of the compost bin.

  The picture on the right  is the run on the left side of the house (if facing the front porch). We used brown mulch to offset the siding and we have irises, hyacinths, our insane honeysuckle bush and our holly bush is by the compost box. I LOVE how it came out. Lizzy the Lizards little headstone is also back here (Kaya's old pet).

  Top pic is the flower bed run at the top of the drive. Odd angle but hard to get in one  picture lol Gladiolas are coming in :)
  Below that pic is the flower bed between the trees by the road. Asiatic lilies and yucca are in that bed surrounded by rock. We are going to give this bed some more work. It's the first bed we did years ago and it just needs something.
                                                                                           

Lilac bush in side yard. Kaya and I hauled all the clay rock
from the side yard (fire pit area) to this area to make the
ring! Blends in well
