After weeks of rain and heat, tonight the lawn was finally mowed.  And my husband hired a company called "Mom and Pop Landscaping" to trim the bushes and get some weeding done.  They were cheap!  Only cost me a few bottled waters and the yard looks great.

My in-laws told my husband they'd bring over an electric hedge trimmer and it made short work of it.

The last few days I've been dancing around with a short story that hasn't found it's way yet.  I think tonight though, I made some progress with it.
