The Fence

We’ve been meaning to post this for over two months now but sometimes life happens and you completely forget. Do you know what we mean?

PJ built a fence around our backyard a few months ago so our big dogs could freely run around without getting out and bothering the neighbors. It’s been such a game changer and they’ve really loved it. BUT, our grass was suffering from it. Badly. Like, there’s almost none left back there. A far cry from what it looked like a year ago (already!!!) when we moved in:

So, in an effort to get it back to its former glory, PJ began fencing in part of the side yard that runs the whole length of our house for the big girls to stay in during the majority of the day. This, plus planting some grass seed should do the trick in making our back yard welcoming again. We also plan to remove the brick patio some time soon and just do grass there. It's beautiful, for sure, but our yard is small as is, so this will at least give us some more grass to walk on. We'll relocate the bricks somewhere else. They are bricks we saved and cleaned from the chimney we took down in our kitchen while renovating, so we won't be getting rid of them anytime soon :).

You can't tell from this picture, but they're SO EXCITED!! See the dirt with all of the little footprints in it? That's almost what our entire back yard looks like, but with little patches of green scattered throughout. We aren't even gonna show you. Maybe one day when we have a really nice "after" shot haha. 

Until then :)

Wine Night + Dancing

Last night we enjoyed a glass of wine on the back deck while finishing up something we’ve been working on the last couple of days. We usually only drink red wine (okay read: always) but last night we decided to finish a bottle of white we opened and man. It was delicious. The weather was perfect, the wine was chill, and life was good.

Once it got dark, we moved inside and poured A red cab we picked up that night. Then we turned on Usher Pandora radio and proceeded to dance for the next couple of hours. Have you ever had a random dance party with your love? It’s actually really fun to dance like crazy people to old bops that were popular when you were in middle school. You should try it!

We normally listen to Bossa Nova radio at night/when we drink wine, but it was nice to switch it up last night for something different and unexpected. Like one of our favorite quotes says: “You have to be the kind of person who can make the best out of a Tuesday.”
