Green Day

Every other Friday afternoon has been formally titled "Green Day". We had our first green day yesterday and basically it is time to work on our yard - yep, we have a yard. It actually has a huge (overgrown) flower garden and a little patch of lawn to mow. Plus there's just some general upkeep that has lacked attention. Our swimming pool (yep, lucky to have one of those, but actually a lot of homes have one) has turned green, so it needs some extra work with the pump and cleaning before we can use it. It is crazy to see the flowers that just grow out here - seeing wild calla lilies is not uncommon. Slugs are also in high number - the picture is straight from our garden.
