 Walking back from our mailbox the other day I realized that this is the first thing that people see when they walk up to our house.  It's dry, sometimes weedy, with plants growing in strange places.  So Jeff and I tackled it today.  It took all day.  We moved some plants, added some new ones, put down a weed barrier and filled it in with rocks that won't blow away in the Amarillo wind.  It was not the most ideal day for yardwork.  We were working against thirty mile per hour winds.  Many of our neighbors came to see what we were doing and make fun of us for working on a day like today. 

Our bodies are sore and sunburnt, but it was well worth it.  By the end of the day the winds had calmed down, leaving a nice pleasant evening to sit back and stare at our handywork.  So much better.

By the way, this is what your baby will look like after you've let her run crazy all day while you've been busy working.  You should see what her clothes look like.
