{a new addition and our backyard}

We got chickens...{again...} 

Meet Stella and Dottie

Hubby built an addition to the chicken coup...now the new chickens have room to roam :)

 We have also been doing a lot of work in the backyard...it's by no means complete but it is getting close!  We spend a ton of time back here...it gets the morning sun and is perfectly shaded in the afternoon...perfect for an afternoon swing!

 My mom and I removed all the grass and replaced it with river rock.  The grass would get all soggy and was turning into moss...I'm pleased with how the river rock turned out...the girls like to play in it too :)

 Outdoor towel area is a must!

 We eat a ton of meals out here...it's so enjoyable!  I {heart} summer!

 Sweet Lucy Goosey!
