What a beautiful weekend we had. I had this burst of energy and got started with the yard work for the year. (Well we started 6 weeks ago, when spring came, but winter came back for awhile, so we are just getting back to spring). So Saturday I mowed the lawn. Now I don't really like to mow the lawn. Justin usually takes care of it, but he's been working alot... so I thought okay, I can do this. (I know my neighbors were thankful)
Next we started raking, weeding, trimming, (you know the drill, we all do it, we all hate it and love it all at the same time) I planted flowers, Justin dug out old bushes, we fertilized, we burned leaves/twigs (no wind advisory today, no Fireman! )
And we ended the day with a little BBQ.
The kids helped... alittle. They pulled weeds for about 15 minutes, they watered flowers (which they loved, and I had to stop them from flooding my brand new tiny flowers)and then they saw them... yes RED ANTS. That was it for Jalen for the rest of the day, he set out to destroy the red ants. Eradicate was the word Justin taught Jalen. So Jalen walked around saying, "I am going to eradicate those ants". He even got the neighbor kids to help, they all decided to spray water on the ant colony and drown the ants to death. They literally did this for 4 hours!
It was a nice day at home, making our home a little nicer and making me smile whenever I see my pretty pink and purple flowers. (I'm not much of a flower person - like don't buy me a dozen roses-) Except I like the ones outside in the ground, they last for like 5 months, and they grow and get big and so pretty! And I actually like watering them everyday.
So Spring is here, my heart is light. I am so thankful for the sunshine and the warmth! (For some reason, Fall is still my favorite season though!)
