2. I am grateful for my husband. I know other people have really great husbands, but I have to say I won the jackpot here - I can't imagine a better husband than Anders.
3. I am grateful for the gorgeous weather we had today; we took the opportunity to do a little yardwork.
Our front yard isn't so bad. The grass is growing nicely, the crabapple tree is in full bloom right now, and the hedges need only a slight trim.
But the backyard. How do I describe it? Have you ever seen The 'Burbs? Do you remember the Klopek's yard? The dead tree, the dead leaves, the dead grass, the big ugly crow? And the way the wind would pick up whenever you stepped into the yard, and the creepy organ music that would play in the background?
This is our backyard. It's shameful. It's embarrassing. I feel bad for the neighbors. And so today we did our best to fix it up a little bit; now it looks like this:
Just kidding. But this is the goal, anway. We have great plans to tear out the patio, plant grass, build a few garden boxes, a gated area for the utility box, and maybe a lilac bush in the corner. Any green thumbs out there are welcome to leave their much-needed advice.

i've never seen that. i've never seen anybody drive their garbage down to the street and bang the heck out of it with a stick. i've never seen that.
What's funny is that Anders has to do that periodically (bang the heck out of the garbage with a stick). We have a very small garbage can and we produce a lot - I mean A LOT - of garbage. The environmentalists would love us.
