Like always, Mitch (and me a little bit) has been working on our backyard. We... well it started out as just me, but then I begged Mitch until he agreed....... decided to put up a white fence behind our biggest flower bed. I was sick of seeing all the dead weeds and dirt behind it, plus the flowers needed a little shade. I think it looks lots better, and our flowers are all doing great! Mitch also planted a few different kinds of sunflowers around the backyard and they have all started to bloom in the last two weeks. Some of them are HUGE!
This is what it looked like before...
And after.... we still have to keep fence around the whole thing to try to keep the rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks out!
Andy layed in the wet grass and watched as we put the fence up :)
Some of the sunflowers
This sunflower has to be almost 7 feet tall! It's crazy to think that it came from a tiny little seed!
One night, a few weeks ago, Mitch's parents' dog wouldn't stop barking. So my father-in-law, Kim, went outside to see what was going on. When he looked in the dog's pen, he saw a snake! I'm pretty sure he thought it might be a rattlesnake. So he went back inside and grabbed Becky and his shotgun. Becky held the dog back while Kim shot the snake! This picture was taken the day after. Turns out, it was just a blow snake.... better safe than sorry though! I'm gonna go ahead and keep pretending that there aren't snakes around our house though!
