a different back yard
Apr 7, 2008 | 9:00 AM PST
Well i now have a different backyard. well sort of. we removed all the leaves yesterday. well most of them. apparently around this time of year the city does leaf clean up again. woo hoo. so all we had to do was get all our leaves from our back yard to our front yard. quite a task if you'd seen my back yard. we bought a tarp and raked all the leaves onto it.... we had to make 4 trips!! yikes! we still have more leaves, but we ran out of room in the street.... what we do is line the leaves along the curb... and then the city comes by with the street sweeper (set up to suck up leaves) and voila no more leaves. i think they'll take sticks too bu they have to be in a pile or box on the corner, and we were dead tired yesterday by the time we'd finished with just the leaves (we had quite the busy day yesterday). ... well i'm gonna finish up cleaning the house (and not get distracted by the internet again) and then Me and Lizzy are heading out doors. we put some marigold seeds in her garden, and then we bought a little dog statue and some butterfly sticks for her little plot. she still wants to dig there loll. oh well we're getting one of those sandbox turtles soon so maybe that will distract her from the garden so her plants will actually grow. oh well if they don't. she's having fun enough just digging.
