So the weekend before the homestudy we had some cleaning up to do, some of which involved the yard work. I had never used the saw thingy before to do the hedge but while Brad was studying I decided it couldn't be that hard, and went for it. This is the 'before' picture... they were getting pretty bushy.
Such a boy.
We found this little guy out in the bush. Some may know this already but when we lived in Klamath we had a pet preying mantis for awhile. Brad was trying to be sweet one morning so on his way out he turned on our baseboard heaters so I would wake up nice and warm. What he didn't know was that our "Mantis" was on the heater and sort of.... cooked :( On a happier note, this little guy was really friendly and went on to live another day since we decided not to keep him :)
Why did I feel the need to wear a rubber glove (matching, of course)? Not sure. But at least I'm happy!
This is my determined-to-get-it-right-dang-it face. Also, this may have been about 3 minutes before I carefully sliced through the power cord. Don't worry, I severed it nice and clean. Apparently, Brad lovingly told me, his family had had that power cord since, basically, his birth. Way to go Erica. It was a miracle, though, have no fear- WalMart sells the same exact one for $9.99. Phew.
Trying not to smile....
