Busy, busy bees (and the world's longest post)

We had a very busy Saturday. The day started off, at 9am, with this:


Isn't it beautiful? It cuts beautifully, too.

The lawn before:

Duff mowing:
The lawn after:

Ok, so you can't tell the difference between the before and after pictures. But trust me, there is a big difference. So, what else did we do? We bought these fabulous solar lights for the path on the side of the house. We anticipate that they will be very handy when we take the puppy out late at night (one week and counting!). Also, I think they're pretty.


I'll post a picture of them lit up once night comes.

And don't think we stopped there. Today was our official Spring Cleaning Day. So, we washed windows, floors, showers, sinks, everything...And we vacuumed and dusted everything on top of that. I hope some day I stop smelling like a combination of Mr. Clean and Scrubbing Bubbles. But at least our house is squeaky clean and ready for another six months of neglect.

So after all that yard work and cleaning, we were hungry. Guess what made its dinner deput?

Wait for it...

Wait for it...


Ta-da! After moldering in our basement for months, the grill has finally made it out onto the patio. And boy, steak and green beans have never tasted better.


After dinner, I finished up one other project that has been awaiting my attention. We have had the same two plants sharing a pot for the last two years. They were getting a little big to share a bowl, so they have been upgraded and are now the newest decor item in our dining room.


So we've had a fairly productive day. Now we have about an hour to relax before two of my good friends from law school come over for dessert and a few friendly games of Settlers of Catan (seriously, the world's best game). And then to bed...finally...cuz we're going to be very tired busy, busy bees.
