Yes, it’s been a little while. I’m sure you’ve been chewing your fingernails wondering about developments.

Well, it rained, it rained, and then it rained some more. The lawn, and everything else, seemed to like this. So I cut it all down again.

I forgot to take “before” pictures this time (d’oh!); there was a lot of green, but much of it was leafy weeds. But after I mowed, there was no evidence of them. Muahahahaha! And if I can’t see them, they don’t count as weeds. So there.

The patio area is actually looking not bad – still a fair amount of work to do, and I’ll have to prune things fairly viciously in order to clear enough area to actually sit at the table. But I figure if I laugh maniacally enough while I do it, it will actually be fun.
