Our weekend of landscaping (& I use the term “our” loosely)

Remember the Twitter Home Tour from a few weeks back?  Where I posted pictures of the house we built?  Construction, interior and finally, photos of the completed exterior.  Well, after I posted it, my husband told me that I should have waited until the landscaping was done because the house looked naked. 

::Sigh:: I explained that the internet was doing it that day and I HAD to do it when the internet did.  He asked if the internet jumped off a bridge, would I?  (He’s going to be such a good dad when C is a teenager.)  I huffed and said “probably” under my breath and promised that when the landscaping was done, I would update the post. 

So, this past weekend was “our” landscaping weekend.  And by “our”?  I mean his.  He went and purchased all the plants, shrubs, mulch and those little pins that hold down that sheet of stuff that goes under the mulch.  (Do you all see why this is his project, not mine?)  He was the one (with a little help from his father, our neighbor, a friend and brother-in-law) that spent the majority of two days digging up sod, mapping out where the plants would go, blah, blah, blah. 

I was responsible for supplying food, entertaining the baby and delivering beer.  (WHAT!? Those are important jobs!) Finally, when the weekend was over and the work was done, Craig recalled the conversation from a few weeks back and said, “I would like you to update those pictures on your blog now.” 

So, hi, honey.  Consider it done.  Nice work!

Love,
Your grateful (but green-thumbless) wife
