DIY: Backyard dressups

If you have a backyard, there are some really cool ideas for making it a better place to hangout in this article by Peggy Wang at BuzzFeed. If you don't have a backyard, my apologies.

Of the 41 ideas Peggy (quoted below) presents, I like these.

Save your pinecones for bedding, which will keep pups and cats out of your plants.

With a few long pieces of wood, you can also use cinder blocks to create an impromptu couch.

Most of these don't need instructions; however, weeds may be a problem with the pinecone idea. Here are 8 homemade weed killers from Good Housekeeping.
