Labor Day Weekend 2013

After a fun-filled summer, we knew we only had labor day weekend to get in our yard projects for the summer. 
 
We added landscaping around our mailbox with stepping stones
We plan to add plants in the future.
 
We finished a landscaping project, as a joint effort with our neighbor, around the electric boxes between our houses.
Work in progress

Finished product
(with hoses for watering new plants)

View from the street
We applied two coats of stain to the floor boards and stairs on our deck. 
(We have an additional coat to add on the railing this week.)
This gives you an idea of the
transparent stain color we chose
We also harvested a lot of green beans (that we had been neglecting) from the garden.
 
It was a full weekend of projects and wonderful weather to be outside tackling it all:) 
 
Oh, and the kids kept themselves busy too:)
