Saturday's Comings and Goings

Monday morning already!  Where does the time go?  There is either not enough hours in the day anymore to get everything done, or I'm moving slower and not getting it done as quick as I used to.  Seriously though, I used to have help and now I chose to do it myself, so I guess it's a combination of both.

Saturday I ran a couple of errands and then came home and did some yard work.  Some people just hate it, but I love it!  I didn't get that much done other than mowing and raking the lawn, raking up a few leaves and trimming the lavender back a bit.  My mower mulches, but since the grass is so wet that feature doesn't work too well.  I'm sure my mower blade needs sharpening too, but since that's not going to happen anytime soon I'll make do.  The hedge that runs the length of the front of my property needs trimming.  It needed it last year, but I never got around to it.  The snow and ice were not kind this past winter, so if Steve doesn't help trim it I'll have to hire it done.  The job is too big for me to tackle alone. 

I talked for a bit with my neighbor Brian who is still living next door, although his days are numbered now.  If you remember an earlier entry (I think November) I wrote how he and his wife are losing their home because they defaulted on the payments.  Well, apparently all his options have been used and he will be served in the next 3 weeks with a eviction order.  Too bad.  He was a great neighbor and I'll hate to see him go. 

Sally and Bud (neighbors across the street) put new siding on their house a couple of weeks ago.  They've been painting the trim adding more plants to their beds.  Their place really looks nice.

Doug and Kelly (next door) are putting up a white picket fence in their backyard.  Doug is doing the work himself and it looks great!

Now for Sunday....................
