A few weekends ago, I started the process of weeding and edging our herb garden. I exposed a brick that was completely covered with grass. Then another. And another. Pretty soon I uncovered a brick pathway that was entirely overgrown with grass. Christa and Ethan were out while I was doing this.

When they arrived home, I excitedly told Christa to go out back to see the surprise I found.  She walked over to the little pond and I pointed her in the right direction.  She was nearly on top of the new pathway and asked “What am I looking for exactly?”.  I said, “that new brick pathway right next to you!”  To her defense, she rarely goes over to that side of the yard.  Oh well, I think it looks nice anyway!

First, I installed a new kitchen light.

Then, I worked on trim in the living room. After that I hung up the mask we got on our honeymoon.

Next, I put up our old antique clock.

Then, the cool slate sign Kathy and Jim gave us last year. It looks great against the new paint job!

I’m bushed!
