Wood Prints and Courtyard

We finally hung the wood prints we made last year.
We used the online service Prints on Wood to print on 3/4" plywood.

Mei checks out the tree.

Front Yard Planting - Part 3

We finished planting the last section in the front.

Front Yard Planting - Part 2

This weekend we worked on another section of the front yard. All succulents in this area. I put some pretty good dents into a PVC drain pipe from the roof drains! I patched it up just in case with some tape and PVC sealer.

Done, one more section to go!

Front Yard Planting - Part 1

We started planting in the front yard last weekend. We removed all of the wood chips and in the corners we planted some ground cover succulents - confusum sedum. In the center we planted a Lilly Magnolia Tree - soulangiana.

Leaves

The leaves are coming back on the courtyard Japanese Maple. The top photo was last week and left photo was yesterday.

New Dog Bed

My wife made a new dog bed.
The pattern is a larger variation on the Sprocket Pillow posted by Cluck Cluck Sew.
