Mowing the Lawn



Today Scott, Dan and I worked on the lawn. We brought the playpen outside and set Chance up with toys and juice a safe distance away. He hung out in the shade while we all worked to cut down the lawn. There were a lot of weeds and sand spurs but Scott weed eated through them and Dan cut back plants with the clippers. I worked the Round Up and sprayed all the the walkways and under the house. We found two rose bushes and the chile pepper plant is much bigger than we thought now that all the weeds are pulled away. Also there are four other plants that are nice and we trimmed them back so they look really nice and not jsut like they are growing out of control. Also we found a lot of cement under the grass which we think used to be the foundation to the house that was on our side lot that is now where our kitchen is and our parking. It is kind of fun having a house that is so old because it was lik uncovering a mystery. I want to do research on our house and find out when it was actually built and by whom. I may even be able to get us a historical plaque if I do it right. It is so great to see the yard cleaned up. It is a really nice yard. I thought it was going to be but now you can actually see it.
