…that a wedding could cause so much hubbub in our backyard?? See, we offered to have the rehearsal dinner in our pretty backyard. The one that we just had a patio and a courtyard put in last summer. Well, that means the WE have a lot of work to do in the next 5 weeks… We had a truck load of mulch delivered and we spread it all over. We‘ve planted. A. Lot.

Now?

We are making archways for the entrance to the backyard and then another one from the courtyard to the walkway to the gazebo. We’ve had a few problems. Lattice cut to the wrong size. Crooked boards. You know…the kind of stuff that drives you nuts. (Okay, I won’t even pretend I’m helping with this one…I wouldn’t know. I just offer unsolicited advice… )

We’re hoping to have this project finished by the end of the weekend. I’m not so sure…

(as an aside… I SWEAR I did not offer to have the rehearsal dinner in our backyard just to motivate SuperGuy to get all these chores finished instead of dragging them out over the whole summer…or two… That would have been wrong. Very wrong.
