Labor Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend around the house (laboring :) - doing some projects that have been on our list for awhile. Ed took care of the biggest project which was cleaning up the brush and cutting down a pretty big tree in the pasture behind our house.

The big brush pile has been back there the entire 8 years we've lived here and although we've (and our neighbors) have asked the city to make the property owner clean it up (and get rid of the poison ivy) nothing has ever happened. (Ed sprayed "the forest" about a month ago and killed everything, so it looks much better than it really was - now it was just sticks/wood)cleanup.

I didn't get a final picture, but it looks SO good now. (Thanks honey!!)

And now we are set for wood! Which is good, because we are loving our new fire pit (and just spending more time in our backyard).

(Bonus: I got these glow-stick swords on the Target dollar aisle and the boys LOVED them.)

OH, and we tried out this margarita recipe (but we used raspberries instead of blackberries) - quite tasty! Southern Living has the best recipes . . .
