Weekend Yard Work

We spent Memorial Weekend working in the yard. Saturday night we made a trip to Tractor Supply tostock up on weed/poison ivy killer, spider spray, and seven dust. after laying around for a few hours Sunday morning, we got started. Kev sprayed for spiders first. I've seen way too many for my liking in and around the house. I mean we do basically live in the woods. While he did that I sanded and spray painted two lounge chairs I bought from a friend. This is the before slightly rusted and a red table.
This is the after. I found these cushions at Garden Ridge. Talk about overwhelming, they had twelve rows of cushions and a back wall full. I'm not kidding you. I've been looking online at a few places and there really isn't much variety and any one store. These are the pillows that I made for the chairs. I need to make a few more.

We also cleared out several small trees in the back yard.
We have four huge burn piles. We can actually see parts of the lake now, but we can't see the houses and they can't see us!
Now if we can get all the brush to die. We sprayed with some ultra round up, but nothings dieting. It may have to do with all the rain we have gotten in the last week. It's rained every single freaking day!!

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.
