productive day

It's only 11 am and we've already gotten everything done!!

Dave's friend Shane from work is the reason why. He got a new battery powered chainsaw, and had the foolishness to post about it on face book!!! (hah!!!)

We have a way overgrown mulberry in the back yard, that was hanging over the fence line, and scratching the top of the neighbor's car port. It was also fully tangled up with wild grape vine. It really needed to be cut back.

SO, Shane said he could come help us out, but only if he could be here at 9 this morning. DEAL!!!

The trimming and cutting is all done, and this coming Wednesday is "big trash day," when we can put big piles of stuff out at the curb.

The other beauty thing about that? The owner of the house next door had someone come clean out the yard next door last weekend, and asked us if she could have the guy pile the brush on our side of the property line until big trash day. Part of the deal was that her guy will then come back and drag everything out to the curb for the pick up, including any of OUR stuff we might add!

YAY!

While Dave and Shane were out cutting the branches, I got the yogurt made. Then, while Dave cut the stuff down and dragged it over to the pile, I got the floors swept and mopped, and the laundry done!

Now, he is going to go clean out his parents' garage, and I have the afternoon to myself to relax a bit and contemplate the recipe I am making tonight! Love it!
