Grilling isn't just about the grill! You want to be able to enjoy eating outside as well.
Take time today to do a little backyard cleaning. Here are a few things you can do that will make a big difference:
- Wipe down chairs and tables with a damp cloth.
- Mow the lawn and trim weeds.
- Remove branches and leaves.
- Sweep off your deck.
- Pick up toys laying around.

Actually the yard is ready. My husband does lawn work as a second job so it's always ready.

We have a huge front porch with steps down to the driveway. On the NE side of the drive we have 2 smokers and a grill cabinet all clean and ready for the weekends. On our front porch we have 2 tables, one for holding dishes of food and the other for sitting around talking and eating, just enjoying the outdoors. I like to drink my morning coffee out there.
We just finished placing 5 cinder blocks (holes side up) down each side of the drive and planted little Moss Roses in them and then placed 5 solar lights down each side and one in the last block so we can tell where to stop. Of couse we grill or smoke year round even in the snow and rain :O))

The only thing I need is something to kill this vine that grows on the fence in the neighbors yard.
I need to figure out how to grow some grass out here in el paso tx last summer was hours every day of work and big fat fail. ITS JUST GRASS!!!
