Getting house in order

It is a lot of hard work putting this place together. There are things that need to be taken care of that we have never done before.

Such as yardwork.

2 plots of grass need regular mowing (luckily the previous owners left us a lawnmower - sweeet) and lots of weeds are popping up. Everyday, I try to get out and pick some of them. Also, all the shrubs and trees need haircuts (pruning). I've been trying my best. It is hard work esp. with the 100+ degree temps we've been having. I have to do the yardwork before 9 am or else it is just too hot. We have 3 citrus trees I just found out need fertilizing this month. How do I do that? guess a trip to a nursery and lots of questions are in order.

We've been painting inside also. My first painting experience. We are painting my craft/scrap room a shade of yellow named summer hue. It is quite pretty.

been a long time

Wow, I didn't realize it has been so long since I last posted. The reason? I've been uber-busy! First we moved to Tucson - long story there as nothing seemed to go right. then, we went to Italy for 2 weeks returning on August 8. Then my sister and her husband were here for a week helping us learn our new city and set up the house a bit. Matt started his job on 8/15 and we've been just busy setting up a house and all that goes with moving since.
