Friday, Saturday and Sunday – beautiful weather – in fact, Friday was a “bonus day” because we thought it was going to rain all day and the storms held off until Friday night – and we got thunder and lightning and the whole 9 yards!!!

Friday I worked in the yard – actually – that is what I did all weekend!!! I moved mulch, built retaining walls, moved soil and rock, supervised some tractor work, planted more plants and seeds, moved more mulch and got eaten alive with the lovely black fly. Stinkers!

Here are some before and afters of some work we got done this weekend.

Saturday we celebrated one of my niece’s birthdays (I have 3 nieces and 1 nephew with birthdays in May) and dropped off her gift at her house. We sat together outside while she opened up her goodies and enjoyed about 20 minutes of seeing people other than our immediate family. It was lovely! Char also got Lola snuggles – if it has 4 legs, it loves Char!!!

I have noticed that dinner keeps getting later and later! Last night we ate at 8pm!!!! WHAT??? That is very NOT like me but I am loving the opportunity to work outside (with the black flies) and have a hard time pulling myself away!
Days 61-63 and counting….
