Apologies for not answering all the fine comments. I have read them all and appreciate my blogger buddies more than you will ever know.
Yesterday we worked 10 straight hours outside mowing (with our ancient push mower - my poor lawn tractor has the flu), weeding, burning huge piles of debris, washing cars, and cleaning the house.
Our reward?
Sunday Brunch!
We'll be walking off breakfast shopping for a new lawn tractor at Lowe's.
