Working On The Wedding Spot

Wow, where did last week go? I was busy doing what I love best - decorating, crafting, painting, and gardening! No wonder I didn't have time to send out any posts. Fortunately, that means I have lots to share!

We (me, Bruce, Megan and Dylan) went up to the farm the first weekend in March so we could work on the wedding spot. Although Saturday was rainy, we were able to get the food planned out for the reception and ended the day with delicious smoked ribs Bruce made. Finally on Sunday, we were able to get out and start cleaning up.

 Clean up began with trimming up the bushes under the trees:

Raking leaves:

Plus we put out grass seed to grow. It's really starting to shape up! The dogs were happy getting to run around for a couple of hours as well.

 Overall, it was a very productive weekend!

This dogwood is down the hill:

I had Megan and Dylan pose by it so I could have a picture for my gallery wall:
 Aren't they cute?

In the city, the gallery wall is coming together and I'll be sharing that soon. Plus, the laundry room is also nearing completion. Be sure to come back Friday to check out a little project I did!

  1. Cecilia this is so exciting. That spot for the wedding is going to be perfect. Love the white dogwood tree too. A good sign this is a good spot. I know once you have the flowers and chairs this spot will just be perfect for their special day. The picture of the two for your gallery wall will be a treasure to have. So excited you are getting closer to the special day.
    Hugs,

  9. I love, love, LOVE this! I am sure it doesn't seem like work at all in creating such a sweet spot for a bright future.

    Also, thank you so very much for your warm and heartfelt comments.

    I wanted to let you know that I am nearing the end of my college experience and am currently doing a 7-week internship at a museum as a requirement for graduation. It is an interesting experience to be sure.

    I must admit that I am struggling to try and manage my time and make sure my family's needs are met. Sadly, this leaves little time left for visiting my favorite people in the world and their fabulous blogs. I hope you'll have patience with me. Thankfully, this time won't last forever and I will soon, once again, be able to see all the wonderful things you are doing.

    May glorious weather and lovely flowers put a spring in your step,
    Laura
