Lots of outside work this weekend
Saturday and Sunday was about as perfect weather-wise as you could possibly want -- sunny and in the 70s. So on Saturday I mowed the lawn and Sunday I trimmed the long stuff (once I was finally able to get the cranky trimmer running, that is).
Mom picked up some new plants for the garden and we spread a bag of Scott's Step 3; I ended up watering the lawn to soak it in afterwards, which was actually more involved than it probably should have had to be, because the crappy Craftsman rotary sprinkler I picked up a few weeks ago isn't working.
I decided after the watering was done to wash the new van too. So it's clean, bug and birdshit free. For now.
