First, I'll talk about the yard. You all know I've been working on our backyard in hopes of making it look nicer. There's only so much that can be done, but here's what I could take care of. I spent three days working on things b/c it was way too hot to get it all done by myself in one day. I have day 3 to thank for the way I've been feeling this week and I finally know what everyone was talking about when they would say, "Ohhh, you have live oak trees." We don't have one in our yard, but the all neighbors do and therefore the leaves end up in ours. Try raking that up with the dirty sand and you'll have a serious allergy attack like never before. There is a little more left to do, but I am waiting until next month to cut into it's budget before doing any more.

I moved two pots from the front of the house to the back of the house and I'm waiting for that budget to get flowers to plant in them. Right now the kids are having fun playing in the dirt left from last year.
