While I was outside, I decided to take pictures of some other things in our yard that I love. Like this pretty hanging plant my mother-in-law gave me for Mother's Day. What? Are you surprised it's still alive?
I love these birdhouses.
Chris and I have a slight obsession with birdhouses. This one is my favorite. We found it in a little shop in Madison. We actually have a bird living in it right now!
We bought this birdhouse today at the Farmer's Market.
Last, but certainly not least, I love these mosaic stepping stones. Why? Because Chris made them! We bought a mosaic at Charlestown's Founders Day some time last month, and ever since we've been on a mosaic making kick. I will post pictures of the project I'm working on later because 1. It's not finished. and 2. It's a gift for someone.
This stepping stone is my favorite. Aren't they great?!
Hope you enjoyed the Birke Back Yard Tour :)

Looks like you all went from jungle to paradise over night. The back yard looks great and before you know it there will be a swing set and lots and lots of Lincoln's toys all over it. Of course his Aunt Chrissy will have to buy him a JOHN DEERE TRACTOR!!! That's a must have for him so he will get use to being with us "down on the farm" hehehe... Love you all!!!
How do you make those stones? They are so cute!!!!
The yard looks nice. I love the stones.
I think the mosaics are awesome as well. Tell how are you doing the forms?
There's really nothing to it. All you need is a little concrete, some broken dishes and a concrete mold. We got the molds at Ben Franklin. The dishes came from Goodwill. The best part is hammering the dishes! Actually, what I enjoy most is working on these with my beautiful and creative wife. She's so much fun!

I took some pictures throughout the process of making these that I will post here soon ... but not today. I just took some adorable pictures of Lincoln that just can't wait :)
