It's Done!!

(Disclaimer: This is NOT my yard, but it was getting there!)
After 10 straight days of rain and probably 2 1/2 weeks of not mowing, there was long enough break between downpours to mow. The bad part: it came at 7am this morning. The yard looks great, but I am not so sure how happy our neighbors are with mowing, edging and blowing at 7am. We did not get shot, so I am assuming they slept through it?? There is another front that is going to hit in about an hour, so we had to do it!! It looks really nice! It is so good to know it is done and I can spend the rest of the weekend not worrying about it. I may go to the new IKEA in Tampa today. We are having a little girls and guys get together tonight. The guys are going to see terminator or Wolverine or some guy show that we don't want to see. We are going to relax and rent a movie. We are looking forward to that.
I had the BEST message on the answering machine yesterday! It was Dana and Ryan screaming and laughing. When Ryan stayed with us last October we went to the Zoo and he fell in LOVE with the poison dart frogs. Well, when we were in Orlando we ate at the Rainforest Cafe, so we picked up several different colored poison dart frog toys. Some of them were sticky and when thrown against glass, they race down the glass doing flips and back bends. He loved them. It is so wonderful to hear a child squealing over an inexpensive low tech toy. He said "They are the BEST!!" I think Dana was happy and relieved that we sent something that isn't alive.
Everybody have a great weekend and wonderful Memorial day!!
