ahhh i love mondays, i know that probably sounds weird to some of you who feel just the opposite but, i do love mondays. a fresh start for the new week and the sun is shinning. i have plans to get lots of things done this week. i have much i want to cross off my to do list!! esp. cleaning my family room windows since bud(DH) has finally cut down the humungeous tree and taken out the deck in the backyard! what a mess and i mean a mess but, it has to get worse before it gets betta right? it's even gotten some better right away.the new grass is coming up and the bad cement that was under the deck has been cut out and hauled away. we are now waiting for the stump to die off so we can take it out. bud drilled holes in it and put some nasty stuff in it to make the roots die. we shall see if this works, hope so but i don't know???? we are going to put a fence up around the patio area and also put brick in around the cement.i can't wait for this to be all done. i have big plans for "decorating"our new outdoor space! i'm constantly looking for ideas on how to decrate porches/patios esp. since i don't have a much longed for porch.
