around the house





The street in front of our yard was continually wet even days after rainfall. Turns out, our supply line was leaking, so the water company repaired it today.

Which means we went without water for about an hour. And our lovely grass got destroyed in part.
"No water! Thanks Greenville Water!" the Boy exclaimed. K and I reminded him of the millions in Ukraine (and all over the world, to be honest) who have no water. "Oh, yeah," came his solemn reply.
First world problems.






We've overseeded our front yard and seeded our backyard. Not "overseeded" because after we started having our yard sprayed for weeks regularly, everything in the backyard died. Because it was all weeds.
This means, though, that our dear Clover is an inside dog for the next month or so as everything takes root and grows. So we take her on a lot more walks, which means we get to see lovely fall scenes like this.









Emil and I mowed three lawns today (ours and two neighbors' yards), and then I dethatched our front yard.
Everything hurts.
Of course, we've done this before...
