Yardwork

Yesterday was just one of those days that I wanted to get a ton done and by golly I did! Hubby's brother has been staying with us for a few weeks so I took advantage of having TWO people to boss, rather than the one I'm used to. We organized the garage...which was just horrible to look at, cleaned up all the junk the family the lived here prior to us left in the backyard.. including but not limited to tarps, pieces of guttering, bed frames, etc., I weed-eated like a crazy person, picked my garden, did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and cooked dinner. Needless to say I was woooorn out. And so were the boys...even if they won't admit it.

My little friend I found in the garden

While working in the garden I found that guy up there and promptly freaked out. Thank goodness I had my gloves on! So hubby told me just to toss it over the fence and I certainly shouldn't have done that while laughing. I didn't exactly toss him over... more like tossed him into it. Right into the gap between two pieces of wood. I could have fallen over laughing right then and there.

My green green garden :)

Working outside makes me happy. I don't know why. I guess it's in my blood; my dad used to be a landscaper. I enjoy it so much, I might just do it some more this evening.

As for today, we're doing much of the same. Re-arranging furniture, cleaning, and laundry. A big chunk of the day was taken away when we had to take a trip to the base. Paperwork needed to be filed for hubby's extended leave and boy was that a pain in the rear. Anyway, it's taken care of now and that's what matters.
