This Saturday it was warm enough to work on some outside projects here at Twin Oaks!

We also mowed our land for the second time this season.

Someday we hope to be able to do the BIG project of grading and shaping our land into an actual yard – with actual grass – but for now we are enjoying it as is!

Setting up the pool last year did not go as planned, nor did the foundation the guys had worked tirelessly on work as planned either.

They have a new plan for that foundation this year – using what is already there, but embellishing it to make it work!

The boys picked up all the supplies for that plan and they got busy working on it on Saturday.

The boys also bought the supplies to build a fire pit for me as a Mother’s Day gift!

SO sweet!

It turned out great and I can’t wait to use it!

We put it in a spot that works for now with how uneven our yard is, but we will probably move it someday.

The guys also added a hog panel to our garden boxes at my request.

It will serve as a trellis for our cucumbers and our snap peas.

I love how it turned out!

It was mostly chilly this weekend, but it was a gorgeous day to be outside!

The kiddos worked and played hard!

The pups loved being outside too!

Eliza ran Ruby Jane around the yard for hours!

After lunch I ran a cup of coffee to Addie Mae at work!

The day before Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year there because of their beautiful greenhouse full of flowers.

This year was no exception!

Toward the end of the day the sun disappeared and the temperature dropped fast.

Yesterday we had snow flurries in the morning!

Crazy Wisconsin!

We were so thankful for a day outside!

Come on spring, stick around!

We aren’t done with you yet!

Here’s hoping that pool project will be done soon and the weather will be warm enough to swim!!

Hope you all had a great weekend too!!
