Ahhhh... Yardwork!

This weekend was so nice it gave us an opportunity to finally catch up on all the yardwork we've been putting off for so long. We all pitched in to help, I mowed the lawn, Rob weed wacked, Rosanna "poop scooped" and Layla picked up sticks and threw them into the firepit. Then I helped the girls plant the flowers they picked out into pots, while Rob planted a couple of bushes in what used to be an eyesore of a flowerbed. It felt good to be so productive!

Before...

After...

Thanksgiving Dinner... of sorts.

After 4 months of rehearsing, the Magic Valley Chorale finally presented Elijah to the public. It was a great performance, with everything falling into place at the last minute as usual. Now that it's over, I feel a sense of calm and satisfaction, but also a little bit of disappointment. It's like Thanksgiving dinner, with preparations going on for hours and then in a quick 30-45 minutes, it's over with nothing left but the dirty dishes.
