From The Past: June 1, 2005

If I do say so myself, our yard looks beautiful. Yesterday was a yard work day. We trimmed the tree and bushes, cleaned out the gutters, swept the sidewalk, and mowed the yard. It was a lot of work, but well worth it from the looks of it now.

The neighbors think we are odd for sitting under the weeping willow tree, which is in the front yard. They give us looks and one of them even asked, “You still hiding under that tree?”

“Yes,” I replied, “We are.”

I thoroughly enjoy being out there. It’s shady and always cool and it’s nice the way the branches sway back and forth. They just don’t know what they’re missing!
