Rainbows

So our summer landscape project is in full swing. We're replacing the yucky mulch with rocks and taking out the ugly black border and putting in paver edgers. I think it will look really nice, but right now it's a mess as you can see from the picture. Yesterday I got all the mulch out and neighbor Brian helped me pull up the black edging, so today I'm gonna start digging the little trench and laying the edging stones. It'll be a lot of work but I was in need of a project!

The weather has been nice. Sunny but not terribly warm. The kids have been playing outside most days and everything has finally turned from brown to green and has blossomed. Maya is obsessed with bikes. Tricycles, big wheels, two wheelers with training wheels...it doesn't matter. If it's in her sight, she MUST ride on it. Maggie has really been into bike rides lately. We go on one almost every night. Usually it's her and I, since Aaron doesn't have a bike and we ride a mile or two and that's just about right for her. She does great riding up hills, and stopping and looking for cars at intersections

Where are your clothes???

The other day we had a little rain and out of that came the clearest rainbow I have ever seen. Actually there was a double rainbow. It looked like the pot of gold should have been right next door in the neighbors back yard. Are they hiding something from us???

Maya is sleeping right now so I'm gonna take advantage and go do some work outside. Mags says hello to everyone (she's fully dressed in princess gear with Hayley strapped to her back in her Snugli). : ) Hopefully by the end of the weekend you'll get a picture of the finished yard.
