Fall Garden Prep/Raised Cedar Garden Bed

Now that we live in Nebraska the weather is a little more permitting for a garden. Well, you can have a garden in Oklahoma, whether it lives or not is the question. We have wanted to build a raised garden bed for a while and found a cheap and easy pattern from www.Ana-White.com.  Here is the link to the project plan.

In a short Sunday afternoon we (well mostly the hubs) built one 18" x 72" raised cedar garden bed.  The great thing about this project is it cost about $12!  We used (6) 1"x6"x6'.  I won't bore you with the details because if you really want to make this you can find the instructions at the above link.

 Who can resist a man with power tools?

The finished Product! Pretty cool, huh?

 Just had to show our little helper. We cracked the garage door for a little breeze, and Ruger just had to see what was going on outside.

A Little Introduction

Well, for about a year I've been saying I should start a blog. So this is me following through. It might have taken me forever, but here goes nothing....

We've had a few BIG changes in our lives the past year.  In November we went from being Oklahomans to Nebraskans (even though in my heart I'll always be an Okie) and I went from being a full-time interior designer to being a stay-at-home wife. The reason? My hubby got a new job!  This was an answer to our prayers!  This also enabled me to stay home full time.  And I love it!!!  Most people ask me, don't you get bored? Believe it or not, I stay pretty busy taking care of our home, cooking, gardening, running errands, and now running my new Etsy store. (gracefullyrenewed.etsy.com) All of these changes have been good, brought us joy, new adventures, and of course growth in our faith in the Lord.

Stay tuned for posts on our Midwestern adventures, cooking experiments, and home remodeling shenanigans.
