A wonderful weekend

This was a wonderfully productive weekend.  Kevin did the riding mowing job yesterday.  I got to ride my horse, with my best friend, Tammy, riding blue along side me.  We had a ball.  Then we took Tammy's daughter and neice (and Natalie, of course) out to ride old trusty Blue.  We all had a wonderful time.  I had so much fun, I had to take a nap!  I slept 2 hours, which was way longer than I had intended. 

Because of the nap, I couldn't sleep last night.  I finally fell asleep (after several attempts) at 2:30 or so.  That sucked, since I woke up at 6 to wake the girls for church.  I went with them, and mom and dad, to early church, while Kevin stayed home to do the push mowing, which includes "the bank".  It's a hellacious thing to mow, and very dangerous.  He usually falls and slips multiple times before it's all done.  Makes me a nervous wreck.  We're gonna plant ground cover, eventually, to save his life.

The weird neighbors don't mow.  I mean, they mow, but it's only once a month or so.  Their yard looks like crap.  My yard, however, is beautiful, thanks to Kevin.  He works so hard, riding, pushing, and weed-eating until it's pristine.  They claim that the state will eventually mow down the bank.  I can't wait until I can afford a privacy fence, to block that mostrosity.

I was weeding today, with Natalie faithfully by my side, when I found this....this thing.  It is a plant with things on it, but I don't know what they are.  Please see the pictures and let me know. 

Kevin's mom came up today, to spend the week watching the girls for us.  She brought me a lilac bush!  WoooHooo!  We planted it this evening, as well as planting the girls' tomato plants that they started in pots at "Grammy's" house.  Life is damn good, with my own yard to plant in.  Linda, or Grammy, also brought a lot of bulbs to plant, which will line the foundation on the back of the house.

My hands are sore, my back is sore, my neck is sore.  I am dirty, sweaty, and sore.  Yes, it's been an awesome weekend.  To top it off, Linda helped me rearrange my family room in a much better way.  It looks bigger and brighter and better.  Thanks, Linda.

I'm lovin' life!

I don't have a clue what your plant is!  And your bank does look better, but I bet the neighbors still have all their toes and fingers!  lol   -  Barbara
