many hands make little work and more beach time

I didn't make the pasta, but even without it my husband and I (yes, he was home!) had one amazing weekend. We had a dinner at home on the grill Friday night, worked on the yard for four hours on Saturday morning, spent a few afternoon hours on the beach Saturday evening, went out for a phenomenal Italian meal with his aunt and uncle (reason the pasta wasn't made), and spent all day Sunday on the beach. It was eighty degrees out and sunny and glorious. As much as I think I am ready for fall, I was not complaining for a second about having one more summery span of days off at home. Truth be told, I was also very unmotivated to do yard work when I woke up on Saturday morning (even though it was my idea), but we helped one another and got to enjoy a beautifully manicured yard - it was worth it by a landslide. I am going to do one more round of weeding this upcoming weekend and after that I think we should be set up to sail into fall and winter without having to do much more than mow the lawn a few times. My next home tasks are going through my drawers, closets, shoes, and jackets. Once all of that is minimized and organized, I will be ready to focus my attention on decorating and crafting for the holidays - bring it on!
