It's been an interesting week since returning from vacation. Of course the lawn was more than ready to be mowed and with all the rain the water grass is taking over which makes the lawn look even worse. Jim mowed west of the house (which we refer to as the football field. We tried to use the lawn sweeper to catch the weedy/grass. That was marginally successful, but then the lawn mower broke down and another week has gone by and now we have it back. We need to just bale this yard. We're kind of starting to look like a redneck acreage.
The pool is fixed! YEA!!! Maybe I didn't mention it but the morning we left on vacation I went to check the chlorine level and one of the hoses had broken off and all but about 2 feet of water had drained out.
Mary Ellen and Mallory came down on Wednesday night. Thursday Mallory went to Leah's and played with Caleb. Thursday night Mary Ellen, Mallory, Alicia, Beth and I went to the Des Moines Playhouse to see "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat". Friday we went shopping for Mallory's school supplies. Funny how I didn't think I bought that much and some of it came out of the 99 cent bin and I went into shock when the clerk said $92. I couldn't figure out what I had bought, but Target and Wal-Mart are stores that do that do you.
Friday night we had sweet corn from the church plot and chili dogs. YUM! Today brought fixing the lawn mower and pool and I baked bran muffins and apple rhubarb cake.
Pictures are of eating sweet corn.
