| | I'm going to be soooooo sore tomorrow! We had a family yard day today and I worked my fat butt off! Our yard has really gotten overgrown over the summer. When it is hot, I just don't want to be out piddling with stuff. Today Matt chopped down the two huge shrubs in front of our picture window...I hated them, and now I have space for a new flower bed in the spring. Then we pruned all of the other shrubs, cut the low hanging branches off of the trees, edged the lawn (not an easy task...we used a manual edger and I'm not sure that our yard and sidewalks have EVER been edged. Then I got all of the weeds and stray leaves and trash (yuck) out of my front perennial beds. I just have narrow beds that flank our front walk...all of the debris filled a large leaf and lawn bag...we now have a HUGE pile of brush to be hauled to the dump next week. The back yard still needs to have all of the beds cleaned up and the house needs to be hosed down, as well as the air conditioners need to come out. But my front yard looks GREAT! I'm so excited that I have all winter to plan a new bed that gets almost Full sun. Some of my perennials will be due to be divided and I can buy some more. It will be very cottage garden. Of course...that also means I have one more bed to weed. I think I want a bird bath too!
Tomorrow is our annual church service at the state park. So I get to sleep in, because it does not start until 11...we usually go at 8!
The boys are all doing well. Andrew and William pitched right in today, and Owen and Ethan took long naps, which was a blessing. Ethan did end up with a black eye, as Andrew cannot throw or kick balls properly, and landed one right in Ethan's face. Now he looks even more like a bruiser.
