\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Today was a beautiful day! We spent the morning
\n at our local hardware store stocking up on yard work stuff
\n (wheelbarrow, rakes, etc.) and the afternoon working outside.
\n We have soooo many leaves and sticks in our yard. Last fall I
\n spent some time racking up the leaves and dragging them across
\n the street on a tarp. Our neighbor is nice enough to let us
\n toss the yard waste into the ravine behind their house. The
\n tarp method took forever! The wheelbarrow method today went so
\n much faster! Of course, having Alan outside helped too :) Lex
\n took the world’s longest nap, about three and a half hours, and
\n Eve napped in the stroller for awhile, nursed, then napped in
\n the belly pack. Rough life for the kiddies, huh? :) <\/p>\n

By the end of the afternoon we had about 1\/4
\n of the yard done, but maybe closer to 1\/3 of the total work
\n (the leaves aren’t evenly dispersed on the lawn). We are
\n planning to spend most of tomorrow outside as well (assuming
\n good weather) and hopefully we’ll get all of the leaves and
\n sticks cleared away. Then maybe we’ll get some grass growing!
\n We have great flower gardens that the previous owners planted.
\n I’ve been raking them out and finding lots of little buds
\n peeking through the dirt. I can’t wait to see what grows
\n :)<\/p>\n

I’m also going to try a small veggie
\n garden this year, so we bought a shovel and trowel and the like
\n (expensive day at the hardware store!) Once we get the yard
\n raked up I’m going to start digging a square (over the next few
\n weeks) and plant some stuff in May. We’ll see how it goes. I’m
\n not much of a gardener, but I’d like to be :) I have fond
\n memories of my mom’s veggie garden when I was growing up. I’d
\n like to share those with Lex and Eve as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
