So Luke and I have a new and exciting hobby. We have been watching the grass grow....ok, so it's not overly 'exciting' but it's been neat to see the transformation from piles of dirt into an actual lawn... For the past few years most of the yard around Luke's house has been dirt. He put a pond on the property and as a result there were of piles and dirt pretty much everywhere. Grass was something we saw only in the back of the house. A few weeks ago he went out and bought some seed, fertilizer and straw to put down around the house. So, since then, we have been doing just as I said - watching the grass grow. And wow has it grown! I told him he's going to have to cut it soon. The weather has been very cooperative and it's really taken off. It looks great!
Actually a lot has been done this spring/summer. He had a new retaining wall put in, a rock wall built, put in a fountain (still need wire to get that going), had the driveway re-stoned and expanded. I put in my two measily little flower beds. But they are nice to look at when I get home. Some color besides green and brown! And my flowers have liked the weather too! I am just waiting for my lillies to finally bloom. They will be gorgeous.
And we got some good news last week. Sean, Colleen and the kids are coming home for a visit in July! We are going to have party at our house that Friday for family and friends. I can't wait! I am not sure what to do just yet about food but I am sure we'll figure it out as it gets closer. It'll just be nice to get everyone together.
AND there is also news about a new member of the family...Tanya and Jason are expecting a new little one! That will be number three for them. They announced that the beginning of the month at Anderson's 1st b-day party.
Well I suppose I better get back to work...ICK! Found out today I get to work all next weekend for a bank required physical inventory. I can't wait!!! Can you sense the sarcasm? Anyway, gotta do what you gotta do...
Happy Tuesday!
