Ok, sorry, but there are no house pictures yet, because frankly, it looks just as it did the day after we moved in. Now that being said, those of you that saw it on Sunday know it's fairly well unpacked, save for about a hundred boxes that need to be sorted. But it's too gorgeous not to be outside working in our yard!
Zach took our new mower for its inaugural test drive. The yard looks great and he had a blast. (Well, not quite sure he'd agree with that statement, but he's not here to defend himself. He was pretty proud of his work, though!) Anyway, cruise control was apparently very helpful, but it's still quite a work-out due to the steepness of our property. We are very grateful for the gift and it is pretty awesome to actually have a yard to mow. Thanks Mom and Dad H.!
While Zach mowed the lawn, I tackled the task of the vegetable garden. It needed a lot of TLC, weeding, and then planting. As you can see, it looks splendid, though (Before and After shots). There was some ground cover at the top that was well established, a very large oregano plant, and an unidentified plant on the lowest tier. The rest got cleared and tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumber, zucchini, and beans were planted. I don't have a picture of the veggies, but most of them were seeds anyway, so you'll have to wait for another month or so. I also planted sunflowers and giant zinnias. Yeah :) (oh, and guess what - I have poison ivy!)
In other very exciting news....Zach has been offered a new job! He will be working as an inside salesman at H&H Associates, an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) sales and service company. He is super excited for this great opportunity and I am sooooooo proud :)
