swingchickieand with it, lots of yardwork. sweeping, picking up downed tree branches, raking dead leaves from over the winter... at least it gets me out in the beautiful weather.
i've lived in this house almost a year now, and finally get to discover what my trees and flowers look like as they bloom. it's fun, almost every day i feel like mother nature is giving me a gift as i discover another plant exploding with color. my favorite is the weeping cherry tree at the side of my house... it bloomed a couple of days before J and i left for the cruise, and thank god i took a picture then, because all the blossoms had already dropped by the time we got back. only a 1-week window every year for this gorgeous tree, what a shame!
in NOT-so-happy house news, my insurance won't cover the cost to fix my awful bathroom. grrrr. so i'm now saving up $3000 for a french drain to get rid of the water problem... then i'll save up another $1000 to have the two trees torn down (the ones growing up through my floor)... then another $2-3000 to re-drywall, tile, and paint the bathroom to make it useable again. *heavy sigh*
if only it were legal for me to publish the names of the previous owners somewhere and tell the world what assholes they are for covering this up. i guess i'll just have to send negative vibes their way. grrrrrrr.
