A Little Yard Work/Play

Confession: Property values in our hood are suffering as a direct result of our front yard.

The weeds are out of control. Grass is almost non-existent. The soil is shot. It's disgraceful and needs a LOT of work. But until we have the time/cash/patience/plan to address it properly, we're gonna have to fake it, i.e. mowing the weeds and hoping they're green enough to pass and not tick off the neighbors.

Before that first mow, however, I wanted to take some time to pull dandelions, sticky weed, and spotted spurge. (Yes, I looked up those last two so I could give my enemies a name.) While I was hard at work, Greg earned his keep by entertaining the boys.


Luke was concentrating hard on those keys while Joseph got the tickle treatment from Daddy.



I love the look on Joseph's face in this one. So sweet!


Mama's turn to take a break.


FYI, keys are delicious.




We are soaking up this fresh, cool weather before it gets hotter than Hades around here. Why can't it be spring that last 6 months instead of summer?


The boys are 1 day shy of 10 months!
