Best Laid Plans

In my last post, we still anticipated RVing to the Gulf coast of Florida.  The best laid plans.....  We did not get there.  In fact, we didn't RV at all this summer.  Instead, we stayed home and finished landscaping our new (although we've owned it 4 years now) house.  After mucho, mucho hard work, gallons of sweat, and becoming 12 lbs. lighter, it is all done.  At least for this go around.  Both front and back yard projects turned out great.  And, my roses and other flowers did really well and we're seeing the natural grasses fill in as the monsoon has been good this year.  As summer winds down, we have enjoyed the fruits of our labor and the pleasant days of the first summer we've actually spent at our 'new' house since owning it.
