Garden Ho’

I’ll be spending my weekend digging in the dirt, pulling weeds, rakin’, burnin’, killing ants in creative ways, pressure washing the deck, and making multiple trips to Good Will as I clean out the garage. It’s not glamorous, but I want those monkeys off my back so we can host another party like this:
so my Saturdays will entail things like this:

And this:

and this:

and this:

But, most of all this:

Who else is spring cleaning?

My house has been crazy messy all week because I’m cleaning out and getting piles to get rid of. It’s driving me mad. Those Saturday nights are looking like the thing to do.

The inside of my house is a wreck, I’m covered in mud splatters…but boy are pressure washers fun!

I am spring cleaning! It seems that it is still spring of 1989, but I am going to finish this year!
Hope you have a great day!
Your becoming one of my everyday stops. I enjoy your blog.

Jen,
I had SO much fun in Austin kept thinking of you guys. I saw the Alamo Draft House and took a picture and we ate at Guero’s Taco Bar on Congress. I have to tell you in person about this tapas bar we found on 4th. It was SO good.

I have built 2 8′x4′ wodden boxes that each weigh a ton. I hammered like the mighty Thor. I sawed like Thor’s less-than-mighty, but still a god step brother who’s name currently excapes me. Then I dug into the slope of the ground to level them. Hopefully Lea will have a nice veggie garden. Yay lentils! You know you like them. I still can’t move my arms above my waist.

Let me edit my EXCAPES typo please, sob.

No, no, the other one. You know, the one with the saw that wasn’t really majic, but he could play music with. All the gods would get soused on meade and make him dance on a table and play his saw. Then they would kill him. The next morning he would come back to life and build them all new dradles and Norse lounge chairs, making Odin well pleased, but angering one of Thor’s goats, not the nice goat but the surly one. DANG IT! WHAT WAS HIS NAME!?!?!

Does Marty, the Norse god of dradles ring a bell? I think that was it….

Dear Tim,
You slay me dude.
PS: I think you should be Marty the Norse god for halloween. Start planning.

YOU ROCK with that yoga move! I can’t believe you practice yoga with the kids around. My kids climb on me and blow my concentration. Jeremy just points and laughs.
I’ve been trying to do the outdoor chores - weeding, planting and raking - before it gets stifling hot. Also I find it’s easier to weed while the ground is wet.
