Yard work.... UGH

Feeling pretty accomplished today! Started out not so great. Was up all night/morning with Brant. He finally went to sleep around 6 and slept until 9:30. But that was it. I really didn't get moving to do anything until 1 this afternoon. But once I started I wasn't going to stop! Got the majority of the flower beds weeded, Darren and I marked out where we want to edge- hopefully we'll do that this week and put bark down, decided which bushes we are going to pull out, got the lawn mowed, organized the garage, and last but not least cleaned the patio and blew off the sidewalks and driveway. I think tomorrow we will bring my 4-wheeler home so we can take out all the rhododendrons and get Wayne & Nicki's old patio set.

 I was so motivated to get things done today that Darren asked, "You aren't pregnant and nesting again are you?" I just laughed- NO I am not but I got motivated and wanted to get as much as I could done! I was going to sand down our table so I can refinish it but the pad that was on the sander needs to be replaced so hopefully I will get that done this coming week.

As we have been doing work around the house we keep coming across weird things they did to it. When we bought it they said the sprinkler system might have a leak. No big deal, Darren and John can fix that. Well John came over the other night to look at it and they could not figure it out- they would turn it on and nothing would happen. Next thing I know they are digging up the flower beds. I went in to check on Brant and they hit the water line. Luckily our neighbors had stuff to fix it. But turns out it doesn't have a leak... they lied, a section of pipe was cut out and capped off. There is also a mystery bucket in the garage with lines coming out of it and we don't know where they go. And an extension cord buried in one of beds and we have no idea where the other end is. Plus how they did a bunch of storage stuff in the garage is just odd.
