A little renovation...

Today was pretty productive for me. I swept and mopped the whole house, got the laundry done, chased the cats, did the grocery shopping, went to the gym...and then I started working on the yard. What a mess! They say that the soil near the base of a volcano is the richest soil on earth and that anything can grow. Well, we gonna find out. :) I checked out a shovel today from the Self-Help office here at our housing complex and commenced to churning up the soil in my yard that was dryed up and hadn't seen a plant in Lord only knows how long. I guess the people that were here before us didn't like to garden. After I churned everything up I watered the soil to get it ready for some new plants and then I attempted to knock down the tree in the front yard. It is dead and just standing there lifeless while all the other trees around it are green with leaves. I couldn't budge it, so when Luis got home I asked him to dig it out; but instead he knocked it down. Either way, it is out now and tomorrow I get to cut the grass. Whew! I get tired just thinking about it.
