Green Acres dahling...
The yard was needing some attention, so we've been mowing, trimming, lopping branches, cutting hedges, cleaning up cardboard - found 4 full grown toads living in there, a walking stick, various geckos, worms, grubs and fabulous creepy crawlies and just doing what needed to be done...the lawn looks much more presentable and we've decided this fall we're going to remove a couple of plants that have seen better days and maybe put some focus on the front of the house...its has such potential, but we've been doing so much in the backyard, that that the front has stayed kinda plain jane...
Mick and her husband zoomed by in their new Mini Cooper last night...there was a whole buzz of folks flitting around the car, it is so cute and is perfect for her...purple w/ black racing stripes, convertible with a windscreen in back, chrome roll bars in the backseat, an enormous spedometer dial and who knows what all else...the engine was pristine, the boot was crammed full of stuff from Costco, there's even a handle on the door in case someone gets stuck in the trunk, but seriously, I can't see anything bigger than a watermelon fitting in the trunk (boot)...regardless, can't wait to go for a spin when she finally gets to drive it (she's working, so husband is clocking the miles on it this weekend..ha)...
Brian had never seen Risky Business so I Netflixed it and we watched it last night...it still holds up, even from 1983...still funny, still worth watching...I also have some Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn movies coming, North by Northwest, Bringing up Baby, etc...good stuff...
School starts this week, I see the college kids are moving back in, Football is on tv again and it looks like summer is winding down, even if we have another 40-50 days of 90+ heat...I'm ready to kick this summer goodbye and look forward to Halloween, Trick or Treat and some fun beads to entertain you with...
