MEMORIAL DAY 2009


To celebrate Memorial Day and the beginning of spring, I've decided to update this blog no matter how hard it is! Ron and I have hit a milestone. He finally relented and agreed to hire some people to help us get our yard and house in shape. Although we still feel like we live in a new house, we have been here 8 years. So this is a list of the things we've accomplished (with a little help from our friends and the Mario brothers.)Two decks have been repaired and resurfaced, railings are coming, hardwood floors have been repaired and refinished,the whole yard has been weeded, trimmed,and generally spruced up with new bark and soil pep all around,our friend Tom is building a long-planned-for shed in the backyard,an area on the side of our house that has been sluffing because of an underground spring is being cleaned up,and this weekend we planted our pots even though it was a chilly 55ish here in the mountains. I'm sooooo happy about it all - it was getting a little overwhelming. So we've done our part to keep Mountain Green the Beautiful, beautiful and green!!!
