Hurray for the Boy Scouts!

I have been fighting a loosing battle this year. The weeds in my yard are OUT of control.
I have been pulling weeds all summer long and they have overrun almost my entire back yard.
Today the Scouts came over for some "service" hours and clean out all the window wells, laid down weed blocker and the white rocks we've had for about 2 years.
I never clean out the wells because spiders live down there.
So the window wells are clean- check!
And there were about 5 other scouts without a job so the leaders got them pulling dandelions, crabgrass and the other weeds that are running everywhere.
They were here for about an hour and got 2 black garbage bags full of weeds.
I was so happy, I made them chocolate chip cookies and had cold milk as a thank you.
The leaders said that if they need more service hours they may be back.
My yard looks so much better!
Thank you Boy Scouts!

The most WONDERFUL Day!

  
Saturday I had the most WONDERFUL DAY!
Saturday was a sister's day! I met Kar, Sarah, Chris and Ais downtown for lunch at Eva. It serves Mediterranean food. I had a sweet potato hash. Very tasty. Then we went to see WICKED.
It was perfect. The above is from the Tony Awards 5 years ago when WICKED debuted on Broadway.
The only dark spot is that Nell was not there to enjoy it also. The show was so great. It totally fulfilled my imagination when I listened to it.
After the great performance I got to spend some time with Jay, Sarah, Dean and Vera. Chris and Ais stopped by and Chris "operated" on my foot. A week or so ago I stepped on some briers. Some were stuck and a couple got infected. I took care of one, but the other one was on the far side of the heel and I could get to it. I tried to fix it but I think I made it worse and it got infected. But Chris got the thorn and the yuck out. "THAT'S REAL LOVE". My foot feels so much better.
It was a wonderful day!
