Beautiful Weekend...

It was another gorgeous weekend here in PA. Kate, Bear and I got to spend a majority of it outside. We played Bear's favorite game with the Frisbee. I got to listen to my birthday presents out on the patio. Kate grew up next to the ocean so a fountain was the best I could do for her in PA. And finally our cherry tree has blossomed and while it is pretty, it will soon lose all its flowers and cover my patio and furniture with a blanket of petals. Not fun to clean...

Spring has Sprung...

Kate and I spent our lovely Sunday planting Arborvitaes and mulching around our entire house. As you can see we need some sort of border to block our neighbors swing set.   We planted 8 trees which we hope will grow into a mighty natural fence.  In all honesty we could have planted another 8 since we have more spaces to block, but if that happened today we would have had to dug a 17th hole to bury me in... I am beat!  I can go to the gym for 3 hours, work out and run on the treadmill for 3 miles and not be as tired as I am right now.  I guess it is an entirely different set of muscles when you are doing manual labor.  But as you can see, Spring is definitely upon us. From here until October I'll be spending my weekends mowing and keeping up with the few hundred of SE Pennsylvania’s invasive weeds...
