Lawn Beautification

Saturday was cold and wet and gross - and Wm's last day of soccer for the season! WOOT! Saturday morning farmer's market...here we come! I spent the day having lunch with my friend Matt and shopping with Suzanne, so it was still fun! I don't think Wm and Steve managed to get out of their jammies all day - so, they too, had a good day! But, Sunday was GORGEOUS. I think we are finally done with the weird, cold May! And we worked our butts off in the garden all day!

We mulched, we planted flowers, we weeded, and we planted veggies. Steve mowed and used the grass clippings as garden mulch, so the yard looks magnificent! We were all very dirty and very tired by the end of the day! Wm was a big help, too. He is finally old enough to make meaningful contributions to yard work! Wheeeee!!!

Wm has now decided he wants to go to middle school for Math. He told me last night, "In life, there are 3 paths: the fun path, the social path, and the intelligent path. I need to take the intelligent path." He's a weirdo. But he makes me laugh! As soon as he said that, I was all, "But safety patrol is awesome! You love it!" Then he was disgruntled because I had previously been trying to talk him into middle school. So I just said, "Honestly, buddy, I think they are both good options and as soon as you pick one good option, I'm sad about the other good option. So, really, you can't go wrong. It's a good problem to have - too many good options!" We still have meetings and jazz to complete before it's official, so he has a bit more time to consider. Hopefully, he chooses the right "path" for him. Ha!
