Families and Gardens

My sister-in-law, Coleen, reminded me that I hadn't updated the blog in while. It's been "one of those weeks" and of course time travels onward, even if our to do list stalls. I thought I'd better catch up on a few tasks. It's Saturday, which traditionally is the day you work on the garden (or lawn). This is a world-wide phenomenon, started by someone who couldn't leave well-enough alone.

Andrew's mowing a bit of lawn, to make the area around the house presentable. I've just been starting our brand new compost heap. I felt obligated to do this, because the pile of leaves meant to go into it has been sitting at the bottom of driveway for weeks, and friends and family are coming over tomorrow for a barbecue. I guess our instinct is to have our compost together when family visits!

Well, I am very thankful for family and friends, because they help us out by bringing over the extra set of tableware, or subtly push us to remember to keep the garden and the house tidy. Or even remind us to update our blog...
