We did yard work today. I am becoming more pleased with the flower beds. They are becoming mine, instead of the former owners.

A while ago we had some of our youth come over as hired workers - they are raising money for their mission trip this summer. There was brick standing on end as an edge for the flower beds. They removed the brick and relaid it long ways slightly lower than the sidewalk. And they moved the one end of the garden, also lined with brick, in two feet. They worked hard.

So, today I dug out plants I didn't want in those beds, took out two bushes, and edged the flower bed with stones. It looks much better. I'll add photos later.

G weeded, mowed and edged. Our yard is lookin' good. My friend P has always said how satisfying a nicely manicured yard is.

E just came to me nearly in tears and on the verge of a breakdown because she couldn't put her hood up. She said, "My hood's not working!"
