Predictable...Boring


I fear I am becoming boring and predictable. Lately, when I go into the coffee shop in the morning, the sweet people behind the counter look at me then ask, "Venti decaf with room?"

Yes, they get it perfect. Time after time. This is virtually all I drink and now, I have been in the shop enough that they know me that well.

Maybe I should change it up, throw them off a bit.

Or maybe not since, really, a cup of hot, strong, good decaf is what I really enjoy. One of those simple things in life.

Do You Know What 6 Yards of Mulch Looks Like?

This is 6 yards of mulch, delivered to my driveway bright and early on Friday morning. And by the end of day, completely moved to various parts of my lawn - circling trees, in my flower beds, along my back retaining wall. Finally, my yard is headed to the park-like setting I've always wanted.


Yesterday we rested, while M finished grouting his bathroom floor. (We do know how to have fun, eh?)


And for Mother's Day, we visited K at First Watch and enjoyed a nice lunch before heading to a stroll through the mall for a new watch battery.


Tonight, more resting. My legs are all worn out, not to mention my arms, back, and the sliver in my hand. But it's all good - the yard is on the way to being beautiful!
