Hurray for Improvements and Rewards!

We have our first overnight guests coming this weekend, an event that always motivates me to clean! I started with the cluttered deck and yard.

Our wheelbarrow worked great to transport boxes and big things to the storage trailer and well house over 100 feet away and up a slight slope.

In the interest of full disclosure, here's what it looked like yesterday morning.

And here's what it looks like tonight. It was worth all the hard work in 100+ degree heat.

The yard doesn't look too bad either.

Meanwhile, the cats were a big help.

But when Sam came home from work, he offered to fix dinner, which I loved.

Speaking of Sam, his prediction of rain was spot on! This was the view out our kitchen window this afternoon.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
