It was Friday and it was good.

I love three day weekends.

I especially love when they are full of productivity.

And I especially, especially love when they coincide with glorious weather.

Our yard is miniscule. Not really. Our house sits back from the street giving us a nice big front yard and a patch of grass the size of a storage shed for a back yard. So every little bit of space we can squeeze out of that area is pretty important to us. The previous owners had a lovely, little garden of sorts along the back of the house that served absolutely no purpose other than to take up valuable space. So after cleaning up the yard a bit yesterday, we decided to bite the bullet and work on this.

This photo was taken after we started clearing everything out.

And this is what we accomplished in a few hours.

A gravel patio! I stuck some old plastic chairs there as a place marker until we can find something suitable to put there.

These kids kept us in stitches yesterday.

Happy Easter weekend y'all!
