new mower and yardwork

on saturday, jake's first ever t-ball game was rained out so we'll try again this upcoming saturday. however, L's parents still came up ...

to visit for the day and they brought us their riding lawnmower because they got a new one! hooray!

i was at the new coffeehouse working on sunday's sermon and between the time that L called to let me know they had arrived and the time that i got home (i worked a little bit more, packed up my stuff, but that was about it), my father in law had already mowed almost the entire yard. including the non-sod! that will be a welcome change from the 4 hour mows across a few days.

with the yard done, i went ahead and used the weed-eater all around the house, playset, and some spots in the yard. my arm was killin' me later! after lunch (chinese delivered mmm), L and her dad went and got a scoop of black mulch and a kiddie pool for jake (since they had the truck). the front of the house looks really nice now! however, with the new lawnmower in the garage, i now have to park the corolla outside. alas...
