Our new, old home that we moved into over the Christmas holiday has pretty much taken shape. There are a few bare walls that will be covered soon, but overall the home is as it should be. On the inside.

Our back garden/yard is in need of a lot of TLC. After (what I would presume) years if not decades of neglect we began our true loves labor on it. After many hours of digging, tilling, mulching there are now some lovely plants and two trees in new homes. But we are far from done. We still have a path to build, another patio area, a patio area to clean off and reseal, a bench to build, bushes to plant, a possible pond to install and much more.

I figure by the end of the summer it should look more like a garden and less like a prison yard. At least it will be nicer tomorrow with our new patio furniture and small grill that we can barbeque for Memorial Day.

One weird thing though is when I was pick axing the ground to dig an area to plant the English Ivy. I found the usual slate and brick that comes along with a Victorian home that was dumped into the basement and covered up to make a lot stuff, but I stumbled across an old joystick from an arcade in the 80s. Not the typical thing you would expect to find in a Victorian garbage pile. Hmmmm….
