Happy Mother's Day! Unfortunately, it was a cold and rainy one here. So much for our plans to finish mulching the flower beds!
Most of our week involved some form of landscaping. As you may recall from last week's blog, we had installed 30 edging bricks around the garden. Well, two more trips to the hardware store, two bags of sand, and several days later, we finished getting all the edging in! There are a grand total of 92 bricks around the front of the house now...and we think it looks pretty darn good! One day earlier this week (Monday?) we came home to find that our new trees and been delivered and planted. It's amazing how much they add to the yard. Now we're just hoping they survive!
Keeping with the yard work theme, we also put down 21 cubic feet of mulch on Saturday morning. Of course, that was only enough for about half of the beds, so you can guess what we'll be doing later this week.
If that wasn't enough to keep us busy on Saturday, we also had to clean the house and get ready for our BBQ that night. We invited Kim's office to grill out, and about 10 others came over to eat, chat, and play corn hole and ladder golf. Peanut was mostly well-behaved during the cookout...not that we can blame him for wanting some of our tasty food!
And as for our non-house related activities this week, we had tickets to see comedian Eddie Izzard on Friday night. We definitely enjoyed the show and have been incorporating some of his one-liners into our conversation all weekend. ("You may remember Charles Darwin for writing the book MonkeyMonkeyMonkeyMonkeyMonkeyYou"). But maybe you had to be there!
