For the past two days I have been working on cleaning up the side of our yard that is below our kitchen window. This used to be the overgrown Amazon forest over on this part of the house, mostly because we never really paid attention to it. Since my home fix it list was growing I decided to tackle that project this weekend. It took a lot of effort to pull all of that stuff out of there plus a lot of scary encounters with spiders and a few trips to Home Depot but its done. I was also so excited to because I really wanted a wine barrel planter to place there and after searching on the internet and becoming discouraged I found one at Home Depot. Go figure.

Here are a few pictures I took from our adventure to the Woodland Park Zoo last weekend to see the Penguin exhibit.
