Weekend Updates

So I had four days off over the weekend and it was fabulous!

We spent the fourth at Eric's brother's house. It was quite fun. We cooked out lamb on the grill and it was super delicious. We did some fireworks during the day with Iain which kind of enjoyed and kind of ignored. Later when it was dark we did some fireworks, but we made sure that they weren't the noisy kind.

Saturday and Sunday were full of house projects. We put in a round old fashioned clothes line. We're still waiting for the base to completely settle before putting it in. Then I worked alot on the garden.

Eric built me a picnic table. Pictures are below. I am very excited. It was not an easy project. :)



Here is some spinach from my garden.

Sorry for the bad pictures, but it you look closely you can see my little green tomatoes! So exciting! And I planted everything in the garden from seeds, which makes it even more exciting. I do however have a continuous battle with grass in the garden. I have to spend some more time on it next weekend to get it under control again.

Oops, I didn't even think about it. I will actually get to see you live and in person in a few weeks. I will be the only person eating red meat! You Hoyt's make me look bad with all of your veggies and healthy eating. I still have to love you all though.
