Hey Dayle! We wrote an entire post on it here. I leave it uncovered at times, but I bring my pillows in because of our giant tree and all the mess it drops. ;} I hope this helps!

Ladies, get to your local Home Depot, Lowes or a nursery and get a wasp catcher. You hang them in various parts of the yard and it lures them in and, well, they’re done for. We get a lot of wasps and had to put some of them up this year for our yard. I hate to use wasp sprays and stuff so this is the alternative and seems to be working!

I enjoyed reading it and am excited to try some new ideas in our own backyard. We live in the city and are lucky that we don’t back up to an alley. We border a beautifully tranquil space, but our yard is oddly shaped. We have a nice porch off our kitchen, but the rest of the yard is shaped as an “L.” So, I definitely need to get creative. Mostly, I wonder how/where I can incorporate a kids’ oasis. I’m setting my daydreaming in motion now, thanks to this entry.

I recently had new windows installed in my brick ranch home and knew I would want shutters to add to the curb appeal but I didn’t want louvre shutters. And then I saw your backyard rehab/shutter posts! Thank you so much. I had a friend build and install the shutters and I am sooo happy. I have pics to share if you are interested, just don’t know how to share them with you on here. Thank you again!
