First Cutting

Today was the last sunny day before several days of rain, so I thought I better mow the new lawn - for the first time. This photo actually makes it look better than it really does, but still, it's a big improvement over the past.

And one more set of photos from Trevor and Michelle's visit. When I was a kid, the best toy in the world was a big ol' empty refrigerator box. After using it for a fort until it was falling apart, we could then cut it up and use the pieces to slide down the levee (which always had long grass growing on the sides). Like sledding down a hill in the parts of the country where it snows, only you could do this nearly year round

So I took our empty fireplace and microwave boxes and built a little tunnel/fort for the kids to play in. They probably would have played in it more if there wasn't the draw of the trampoline. But they had fun enough.
