lazy days

Whoo-hoo it finally cooled down! I'm still just hanging out enjoying the cooler air. Some yardwork is under control and I just turn the water on to get things watered early. Now if there just could be some automatic way to pull weeds I would be a happy gardener! It's cool enough to move the last two plants and I'll be glad if I get that one thing done today!

Yesterday I had a scare when some workmen with a large dozer parked in front of the house. Deja Vu! You see, when we moved in we spread bark near the roadside and then these cable guys came and dug a trench to lay cable for a new house next door. I was so mad after having done all that work. So, when this heavy equipment showed up I was a little anxious. I was on hold on the phone and didn't want to re-dial and wait again but had visions of having to dig up new plantings and finding a place to keep the plants alive till after the workmen finished their task. Eventually I got of he phone and went out to address the guy in the dozer, "Are you guys digging up my yard again?" He told me they were laying pipe down the hill. Whew!! What a relief!

Then the tree guys came to turn around in the cul-de-sac. Deja Vu Two? Well, last year this same outfit came and took some trees down. Would you believe the trees are still down on the ground behind our place? They were supposed to shred branches and haul off the trees! Also, with the heavy equipment coming across our driveway some concrete was torn up and we had to harass the guys to repair the driveway. You can imagine what's running through my mind when I see the tree truck! It's fine and dandy if they take these trees away, since that's what we paid for, (it is now one year late) but it would be nice to notify me that you are coming. No deal. Although they told Wes last week that they are working in our neighborhood and would come by and take care of it....hmm....they were just turning around!

Well, I'm hoping for the best day today! Last nights hula class really hyped me up!!--
