Made By Humans
I may have mentioned a few times that we recently completely renovated our backyard. I’ll probably share a full roundup of that big event next week, but in the meantime we’ve been adding a few accessories to the yard, mostly in the form of lighting options.

The theme for this week’s Iron Craft Challenge was “home,” which feels really appropriate after the events of last night and the devastation that happened to our neighbors yesterday (we only got lots of rain and wind here, so we have nothing to complain about).
