One of my favorite holidays upon us – the Fourth of July or Independence Day.

The first three days of the week are incredibly swamped. However, it is a great price to pay so I can have four days for me alone.  The past three weekends of consistent rain and have me horribly behind schedule in completing my backyard projects.  I’ve managed to accomplish some of the little things, but it’s the big projects that I really want completed.

The front yard, on the other hand, is looking, and feeling mighty swell.
