I realise I am posting this to most of you who have had yards for years but bear with me, it's a big deal for us. This past weekend Joe borrowed a lawnmower and edge trimmer from his Uncle Greg and for the first time in our married life we spent yesterday mowing a lawn! Well, Joe mowed, I raked all the dumb bark out of the grass and got a blister doing it, I hate bark! Anyways, it was so nice to finally have a yard and then to have a manicured yard, even better. It is small, but plenty big for us, I'm not a green thumb, I mean really not, I kill cactus, didn't even know they could die! It made me feel really good, like a regular home owner, spending the day on yard work and washing windows (just the 1st floor, and Joe's mom helped!) Hope your weekend was great! Here are a few pics of our yard, hard to take pics of because it is in sections. We just fertilized too, so that will help it green up at bit soon!

Looks nice! Mike is glad to get to a smaller yard! :) He is tired of mowing 1 1/2 acres! LOL. I have done it too, and it's hard work. Especially now! It's SOOOOO HOT AND HUMID HERE now- "welcome North Carolina summer. So glad I am leaving you for the dry heat!" :) Didn't realize your neighbors are so close. Are you allowed to have a fence?
Raking... haven't done that in a while! Not since we lived in California. I hate raking. ;)
