Just Right

Monday, April 12, 2010

Ahhh! This weather is doing me some good! I love it! As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, the grass is greening, flowers are blooming, and weeds are choking! Ha! This weekend, Russ and I decided we need to work outside around the house. So, when Russ got off work...we worked on our "curb appeal." Selling a house is stressing me out! Maybe because I'm a perfectionist or maybe because I have never done it before. But, after this weekend...I'm feeling a little better about it.

I did something this weekend that I've never done before!

I mowed the yard!

It was a monumental occasion for certain. Russ even pulled out the camera for the event. Our neighbor came out laughing and told me I missed a spot. Obviously, I put the neighborhood in complete shock. But, I'll tell you it was fun. I enjoyed it until I got to the uphill part. I must work my muscles a little more for that!

Just take a look at that yard! Didn't I do a nice job!? Now, that's curb appeal! Ha!

Russ took care of the sides of the house and the back yard so I could go in and work on the laundry. Gosh! I sound so old when I say that!

Now that our yard is trimmed up, all our blooms are looking fabulous! When I woke up Sunday morning, I couldn't help but take a Diet Coke and Farley outside for a little morning outdoors time.

I'm loving this weather! So relaxing. Not too hot. Not too cool. Just right!

Do you think you could please
teach your mother how to mow the yard?!

I've only mowed the yard once before as well - I said I'd only do it again if we got a riding mower :) Thanks for your sweet comment.

Okay, two things.

You are one up on me....I have NEVER mowed the grass!

and, why are you drinking DIET coke?

The yard looks great! Do you still need me to come help you clean out and pack?
