4th of July Weekend!

It was so nice having a long holiday weekend even though we worked pretty hard most of the time. On Saturday we took down part of our old fence on the side of our house and started putting up the new one. Jim had a friend helping him, so I mostly watched and did yard work. But, Sunday afternoon Jim and I finished it together. I was the hammer girl, and thankfully I did not hit any fingers! Jim finally finished the gate for the fence on Tuesday, and it looks a million times better than what we had. The one before was so old and the gate was propped up against the fence. Very safe! So, now all we have to do is stain it, and it will be done! I'm pretty proud of us that we did it all by ourselves..sure there are a few uneven spots, but noone will notice..right?

This is the back of the old fence. And yes, that is our old Christmas tree lying in the backyard. Don't ask...

Here is the new one!!
