May Outside Projects

My husband and I spend most of May doing outside chores. We worked on it 3 days per week for about 3 hours each day. I'm enjoying spending time with my husband working in the yard. We have minimizing our possession in the barn and shed along with completing many projects. I'll post a picture of the barn after we are finished. It's almost empty or as empty as it can be for a family of 6 with a 3 car barn. We do have 2 cars parked in it.

We completed 35 outdoor projects this month. We were able to complete these projects with only spending $30 on flowers and $10 on spray paint. I planted fewer pots of flowers this year since I never seem to water and they die. I concentrated on our main setting area in the backyard, near the door that is used most often, and a couple pots on the front porch.
