How Was My Week?
Now that the front yard project is complete, we are focusing on the backyard mess so we can hire the same people to come and clean it up. We can either install a pool or new grass and clean out the rest of the juniper bushes. That decision will be made based on what the landscaping company charges to install a pool, and if it is too much for now, we have to budget and save up for it down the road. We have a lot of stuff that needs to be cleaned out of our backyard; we have old vehicles and lots of metal from various projects. It just needs a major cleanout. So, we go for the title of my off to the dump. I live in a tiny town, and we used to have a Landfill closer to our home that took 15 minutes to reach. But in recent years they have closed that and opened a much larger one farther away now it is almost an hour to get there one way. So, with the cost of gas, we need to make the run worth it. For a few days, we focused on gathering what needed to go to the dump, and then for two days, it was a comedy of what can go wrong with a trailer going to the dump. First, the lights did not want to work, and it took some time to get that sorted. We had two flats. The next day, we succeeded, and the dump run was completed. Now, if the weather straightens up, we can continue painting the house or install more floors inside when the weather is nasty.

Good luck with the landscaping project! We’re also attempting to get our yard under control. The yard belongs to the weeds right now.
Good luck with all of your projects. Mad Honey is on my wishlist. It looks good. I have The Seaside Sisters to review, too. Hope you have a great week!
Wow, that sounds like a lot of work! A pool sounds wonderful, I hope you manage to make it work! I’ve missed swimming so much and a pool has always been a wishlist thing for me. One day!
You are doing great with your challenges! I have not read a Jodi Piccoult book in years, but I used to enjoy them.
Yard cleanup is always a hassle! Hopefully the rest of it goes smoothly!
I love projects for improvements. Good for you on the cleanup!

I have loved Tessa Gratton books. I need to start this series. I have a guy that comes out every summer once or twice to clean up the branches and stuff that fall from the dead tree in my backyard. And at some point I want to pay him to completely take out some big bushes in my front yard. Just saving money for now. Have a good week!
