Succulent love

Another new obsession of mine is succulents!  I found this shelf in our black widow reproduction factory and cleaned it up...as much as I could.  It's pretty much on its death bed but I still love it! 

I want to collect different pots to fill it up but here is what I have so far. 

Donovan and I made this beauty.  Dont you love it?!  I wish I could claim the idea but I saw it at Backstreet, a local sandwich shop here in Riverside.  

Diy to the rescue

I hated the way all the pool floaties were always in the pool.  It looked ugly and the skimmer had a hard time going around them.  So I had this ingenious idea! 

I found these plant hanging hooks in the indoor plant section at Home Depot.  

Now it looks like we have giant floating donuts!  Yum!  

Backyard love

Happy 4th!  I wish we were having people over, maybe next year!  This year we are just working on the yard.  

Our new yard is huge.  We went from 12,000 square foot lot (1/4 of it was an unusable slope!) To .4 acres of flat land!  I love it but man its a lot of work! 

Here is a little peak at all the areas. 

This is our garden.  We were so excited to have it when we found this house.  We are going to add to it making that entire area all garden area.  Donovan is mapping it our with the black spray paint if you can see the line.

My weeping willow.  ♡ I have wanted one since I was a kid!  

This is the only unusable area, but there are tons of birds so we still love it.  

My favorite area.  These trees are actually uprooting the pool and it kills me but we may have to remove them someday.  

The black widow reproduction factory.  Lol! 

We plan on removing some grass for a hopscotch path and maybe an area for a firepit.  What do you think??
