moss bunny

Up until this weekend, my only contribution to the renovation/redecoration of our new house was this moss bunny. Delightful, no?

As sweet as she is, I had been feeling like I was letting the home team down a little. So this weekend, I cleared my schedule, rolled up my sleeves and ... I ... weeded. Yup, weeded. All weekend. That goes to show how neglected the gardens were. I still haven't got to the front of the house yet. But the rest is looking much less like a haunted house.

Mr You decided to mow the lawn, and curious about a nearby house who's garden edging looks like its been lazer-cut (it is un-naturally sharp and straight), he attempted to do ours too. Only every mowing, snipping, slashing machine that he had lilted with the trauma of our overgrown lawn, so out came the saw! HAHAHAHA, I didn't see it, but apparently he got down on all fours and sawed that grass into shape. 10 points for effort and neighbourly entertainment!

Meanwhile I was out at the hardware store purchasing a tin of paint to spruce up the insides of some musty old cupboards, some pretty coloured paint samples, and a silver handle.

Those items are no real indication of the work we still need to do to this house. I'm talking cracks in the roof that leak rain, collapsed drains, an awful lot of fencing, and all sorts of stuff. Things that one of my dandy skip-alongs down the aisles of the local hardware will not fix. But by gosh, do I have fun on those dandy skip-alongs all the same. :)
