Wednesday Moment of Zen

Third in a series: My Uncle Came from South Africa and all he brought me was this lion and I love it! Thanks Uncle Bobby and Liz.

Four Picture Friday: Home Improvement Chimpy (with special guest star, Mo Junior!)

As Chimpy has gotten better at handling a hammer, we've kept ourselves busy this last month with a lot of home improvements. The big project is the attic renovation, but the weather was been so nice we've taken many of our chores outside.

At the salvage yard looking for bricks.

We came home with 568 paving bricks at a crazy low price. We'll have a patio this summer.

Finally, the bricks for a small retaining wall.

Chimpy loves riding in trucks. The trip to the dump for some compost and top soil (recycled out of our green bin scraps) was also a big hit. And Chimpy finally got to see where it is I've been telling her garbage trucks go to sleep.

We got a head start on our garden this year and are really looking forward to eating tomatoes off the vine.

Only one attic picture. Our friend Mo Junior came by to help us with some plumbing. Hooray for exposed beams!

Special Bonus Picture: My uncle Jeff went to Italy and all he brought me was this jester's hat and doll and I love them!

Thanks, Uncle Jeff!
