Successful Weekend - SHED DONE(almost)!

I had to quick update this since we have some very exciting news!  Jeremy was able to finish up the shed!  It's absolutely spectacular!  Well, almost finish.  We just have to decide on a paint color(white or gray), pick up some paint and paint the trim around the door and windows.  Then, we'll be 100% done.  But, of course, we still have lots more planned so we have lots of work yet to finish up the entire area around the shed.
New spot for the fire wood! 
I have to post the before picture to remind you what this mess looked like before(image it without all the snow).  Much improvement?!?!?!?!
The rest of the backyard.  Way in the back, you can see the berry garden and my(ops, our) newly dug and edged veggie garden. 
The roses are growing really well and you can see the flowers in the flower box behind. 
So, we had a very successful weekend and it didn't even rain much while we were outside working.  Quick list of our accomplishments: shed, trip to dump, restacked and cut fire wood, raked 15+ bags of pine needls and other debris(under blue tarp in pictures), trip to Home Depot and Home Hardware for more supplies, finished new veggie garden and edged it, bought plants/seeds for veggie garden, weeded strawberry garden, started weeding flower bed by cedars, started sanding deck, edged cherry tree, mowed yard, and of course the weekly laundry and dishes.  Whew!  It's still light out and I might have a little bit of time to work on some of my work work yet tonight.  So, Jeremy's off again for a few days this week, but only to Ottawa for a seminar.  He leaves Tuesday and should be back Thursday so I'll see what else I can get done while he's gone.  I'm hoping to get a big dump truck of dirt to fill in all over the yard so we can finish up all the gardens, etc.  Hopefully, I'll be able to finally post some pictures from France and Colorado too.
