This was not a weekend off for us - we worked! We decided not to travel this weekend so we could get some things done around the house, and boy did we! Our lawnmower had been acting up and Jason spent about 8 hours last week working on it in the evenings and FINALLY got it to run Friday evening (and just in time too - I was this close to making a trip to Lowes to get a new one!). So I FINALLY got to mow the grass Saturday morning. Then I trimmed the boxwoods, and we put new mulch in the front flower beds. It looks beautiful! I didn't think to take "before" pictures until we were almost done in the front and didn't think to take any at all in the back yard, but oh well....
Unfortunately, I got poison ivy or poison oak either from pulling a weed I shouldn't have or from the mulch itself. No one else has gotten it, so I'm betting it was from weed pulling. I vaguely remember a weed that looked like the pictures I found of poison oak online today.
We were both exhausted Monday night when we finished, but I think we were both satisfied with the result. Here are some pictures of the re-mulching and some random flower pictures (you know we couldn't resist!)
