This was a great day to get stuff done at home.  Katie took a long nap this afternoon and allowed me to spend 3 hours in the yard.  I used our new electric lawn mower for the first time, and then weeded the flower bed around the grass.  I was ruthless and just pulled out everything.  Well, I did leave a few pansies which were small and in good shape.  Everything else came out.  This was my first time really looking at the patch of clover which has taken root in the front yard.  Yuck, that is going to be a pain to get rid of.  I started to pull out a section of it and decided I need to tackle it a different day.  Now that the weeds and overgrown pansies are gone, I am going to increase the size of the flower beds.  There just isn't enough room to have flowering plants in the beds and also maneuver a lawnmower in the small yard.  That will also have to be done a different day.  

For dinner we reheated some of the bbq pulled pork leftover from yesterday.  I took two buns, buttered them and then broiled them in the toaster oven.  It was nice to have the pork on toasted buns.  

Ben has been busy this week creating the artwork for my first album "Favorite Things".  He took the back cover photo at Alki beach last week and took the front cover photo in our backyard yesterday.  It is amazing how many steps it takes to turn a photo into an album cover.  Thanks Ben for making me look so good!
