More yard work

I spent most of the day outside doing yard work. I mowed the yard and trimmed up first. I then tackled a pretty big project. My neighbor has a sump pump under her house that has been flooding the space between our houses in the spring. I talked to her earlier in the week and she agreed to get me the materials to fix it. She brought over some pipe. I dug the 20 foot long trench along the fence and buried the pipe. It should definitely keep the water away from the house now. I will need to get just 5-6 more feet and we’ll be good.

After that project ended we went over to Dawn’s house to help her with some spring cleaning. I tore out a giant cedar tree and cleaned up the various shrubs and plants. I cut through my damn 100 foot extension cord. Argh. I also removed a giant rose bush and got rid of her lattice around the porch. It looks pretty nice.

Busy

Tim and I have been so busy lately! We have helped Dawn move into her new home, assisted my mom in her move to Ralph’s and this weekend it’s the wedding of the century!

Mom will officially be Betty Slavens after Saturday. I’m kind of sad about her leaving her old house. Even though I didn’t grow up there, it was still my home away from home all through college, Dallas and St. Louis. I will miss our Christmas mornings huddled around the tree in her living room. I’m sure we’ll do the same at Ralph’s, but it won’t be quite the same.

Cheers to new traditions and new memories.

Go Dawn!

Dawn closed on her house yesterday and got the keys today! It’s a cute little place right off Sunshine close to our house. It’s going to be pretty sweet. I see a lot of potential with it. We are going to do some painting this weekend and get her moved in. It has a kick ass covered back porch where I see a lot of time being spent. Congratulations Dawn!
