Labor of Love.

Well I've toyed and toyed with the idea since we bought our home. I wanted chickens! I grew up around them and now I want my own. Here's the thing. We're not quite city and we're not quite country we're right smack dab in the middle. So I looked it up and our little town allows it, but no roosters! Fair enough not trying to raise a farm, just want some farm fresh eggs!
So since I made up my mind and decided to upcycle our dog house which by the way has NEVER been used, and make it in to a coop. Nick has always wanted to make me a garden fence, so I could have my own garden getaway per say. And well we need it now more than ever so Nie won't get in, she can be so naughty!
So here it is, his labor of LoVe!
He placed the first pole and the beginning of my fence. I am so in love! (In back you can see a stinker getting into the compost hence the reason behind our fence!)
I honestly LOVE that he's doing this. He's read, researched, measured, dug the hole, mixed the concrete and 1 pole down only 3 more to go. Then my fence slowly starts to go up!!! I CANT WAIT!!!
AND might I add all this is recycled goodies! Yes, someone tore down a fence and we went curb shopping. Concrete was left overs from last summers patio job,$0 cost!
Pop's Your the BeSt!!


Looks fantastic doesn't it?!?!
(Naughty Nie Nie!..Grrrr...)


Baby Green Beans!!


Baby Cilantro!! I also have baby Basil. My tomatoes and Echinacea haven't taken. Oh well I'm still trying!

That's my boy! Tell Nick he can also just put the cement mix in the hole with the pole in it, then add water and voila, but you have to make sure the pole stays straight.
