yard work

So, anyone who has been to our house knows that when we bought the house it was more of a fixer up than anything. We are still finding things that were done wrong. Don't get me wrong the house is liveable and comfortable. Life seems to not slow down but finally it did and Katarina and I undertook the task of removing the rocks from the center and relaying plastic, screening out the dirt from the rocks and replacing the rock. This circle once was full of yucca, cactus and well just about anything that would grow. we have all the rocks removed and now have sprayed the ground to kill the roots and weeds still trying to grow. we still need to screen and replace the rocks but it makes me feel good. This project will cost us about $25.00. That's it. Katarina and I have a list of projects that cost much more but we don't have much more. We do all the work, so we don't have to pay anyone to do it (though it would be easier that way). But finally we are getting some things done with our house. I know, we are just moving the rocks, but we are making our front more inviting. Instead of a center to the drive full of weeds and whatever, we will have a center that is rocked and ready for whatever landscaping, or decorating idea we have. I am glad that we have the health and the ability to work on our own home. Last year with Katarina's chemo (from complications with the miscarriage) she was not supposed to be in the sun and well it is no fun being out there without her. I guess I should wrap this up. Thank you for reading my ramblings.
