Doll Up Your Backyard For Memorial Day

This weekend many of us will be serving up our delicious food outdoors. The look of the feast will most likely be casual with a touch of the patriotic as we celebrate Memorial Day. It might be the first fete of the summer that we swing open the doors to the backyard. So, in honor of our war heroes, how about rolling up your sleeves and applying a little elbow grease to spruce up your backyard with some simple but impactful DIY projects.
