Spring Projects

Now that the weather has begun to work in our favor, we have have been busy as bees. We have been doing small projects around the house. I "revamped" a breakfast cart by putting a mosaic on the top part of it. It was a bit tedious, but it turned out well. Shawn has thoroughly enjoyed using his chainsaw to clear out some of the Katrina debris closer to the pond. With plenty of begging, he finally let me try out the chainsaw. Don't get me wrong, I loved having the power to chop down trees, but I'll stick to clippers or a hand-saw for the smaller stuff. I was definitely overwhelmed. Chainsaw -- no more, for me.
As most of you know, our grass got about knee-high over a two-month span. One small problem...the old lawnmower wasn't very motivated to tackle the grass this year. Needless to say, we ended up buying a new riding lawn mower. Shawn has tackled the massive front yard and it is beautiful. I have only sat on the new addition, but have yet to attend Shawn's Mowers Ed seminar. I'm sure it won't be long before I am out there with my straw hat riding around the yard.
