We figured we were in for a long, stormy weekend when Friday morning started with the tornado sirens blasting at 6:00am. After that though, I skies cleared and we had a wonderful weekend with 70 degree weather.
We started Saturday with some much needed yard work. After a few hours, we headed to the first Bentonville Farmer's Market of the year. It was a lot of fun!

Since we've moved here, we've heard many ravings about the Big Rub food truck. This weekend seemed like a good time to try it out. We both love barbecue, so it seemed wonderful.
After a little bit of fun, we headed back to the house for more yard work. We planted flowers, fixed gutters, and did general clean-up.
Our beautiful flowers! We planted lilacs and hydrangeas in the back, followed by lilies, marigolds, petunias, and sweet potato vines (Jake calls them Green Monster). It was a lot more work than we expected! We had to till the area (which was done by hand because we don't have a rototiller.) But it was fun still! The beautiful day helped.
We aren't completely finished yet, but we are mostly there! We brought Rio to the front yard so he could have a change of scenery. After a lot of hard work, we decided to take a break in the shade with him.
As I was laying on the grass, Rio decided I was the perfect chair. He climbed on my back like it was a throne! It was quite funny. We weren't able to get a picture of him on top before he fell off. But he still decided he wanted to sit there.
We finished the weekend a beautiful walk at Crystal Bridges/Compton Gardens. We should have counted how many times people said, "That dog looks like a fox!" Or asked us if they could pet him. Lucky for us, we have a great dog, who is very well-behaved.
The world is a beautiful place. And I live in a wonderful place! Spring has always been my favorite! Needless to say, we had a wonderful weekend in Arkansas!
