When we moved in the grass was completely yellow with giant weeds all over. Most were 12 - 24 inches tall. Well we pulled all the weeds and we've managed to figure out the water pressure and I spend 3 hours every day dragging this around. Life is good though, look how green the grass is getting!
Before we moved in we told the kids there was a "secret playground." Secret because it's behind some GIANT lilac bushes and it was hidden in giant grass and the bushes were growing into it. The other night we trimmed and cut and trimmed some more and look it's usable!
This my friends is NOT for the faint of heart. We discovered yesterday we have a serious mouse problem. We lost some food storage in the basement (I should have figured. This is the country) and had all our sponges and paper towels under the sink eaten. Under the sink we put out this special number Brandon calls, "Peanut Butter Surprise." So far we are two for two under the kitchen sink.
Brandon spent the entire day yesterday down in the basement with a mask and gloves sweeping mouse poop and putting out traps. It looks like we just moved in again with boxes everywhere upstairs because I don't dare leave a lot of stuff down there until I can get it in plastic storage containers.
Country life is rewarding though! Just look at these:
