an ice cream truck pulled up to the park. in the afternoon, another family friend arrived and the party was complete! after church that evening, we picked up some pizza and headed over to watch the fireworks. there were a few sandhill cranes and other birds and we saw some fish and turtles as well. we packed sandwiches and snacks and had a picnic between the three boats. On sunday morning, i took everyone out for a canoe ride. this really is awful!” and started planning immediately. i had mentioned these woes to my sister and i think she had seen photos of the lawn before, but when she arrived on saturday evening, she gave me a hug, then turned around to survey the yard and said, “wow. it’s lumpy, there are giant, scratchy cedar bushes stuck in the middle of the yard (for no apparent reason), past owners of the house chose to install gravel beds around the entire exterior of the place, making planting almost impossible and not really discouraging weeds all that much.
ever since we bought the house a few years ago, i have just despaired about the yard, not knowing what to do with it to make it look better. and my yard was in desperate need of help. it was a great day–i think that’s the longest ride i’ve done so far this year!įor as much as i enjoy doing interior decorating, my sister loves to garden. there was a pretty strong headwind all the way there, but it made the trip home that much sweeter. the next day, we went for a longer ride, about 45 miles round trip, to a nearby town for lunch and a bit of exploring. he thought it was pretty cool (and really, it is) to be able to bike to dinner and back. he has really gotten into biking in the past few years, so when we took him out for dinner that evening, we biked downtown. i had a total of six houseguests–my bedrooms were all full and there were non-bedrooms that had to be called into use! i had a fabulous time. what a crazy week it’s been here in the happy household.
