Day 1...Yard Cleanup

Okay, so technically, Day 1 was supposed to happen yesterday, but Husband did something to his back/shoulder region during his rugby game Saturday and healing time was in order yesterday.  We were somewhat busy though...we did manage to get all the odds and ends shopping done that we needed to do.  The animals will be quite happy that we got enough feed for them to last them a while.  The pups each got a huge meaty knuckle each to gnaw on.  This is always entertaining to watch...Jetta devours the meaty stuff off of hers as fast as possible and then does whatever she can to get Daisy's.  Daisy, of course, daintily removes the meaty stuff off of the bone and this takes most of the day for her.  Jetta takes hers with her when she comes out of her kennel, while Daisy carefully hides hers so that Jetta won't find it.  I can really picture what these two would be like if they were humans.  Jetta is the fat kid that can never get enough to eat, even if she really isn't hungry.  Daisy is the one with the body image/issues with food/eating disorder.  Ha!

Anyway, so feed was bought, household supplies (toilet paper and the like) bought, bills paid, dishes done, laundry done (by done, I mean washed, dried, and now awaiting folding and hanging in the spare room), and we managed to go to a 2 year old's birthday party.  All this despite Husband feeling very uncomfortable and me having a slight case of tummy troubles (I won't go into details here).  Even watched a movie last night.  Hoping that today might pan out to be a bit more productive.  If nothing else, I want to fill the dumpster outside with yard trash.  I vote that these two trees become our first victims.  You can't see by the pictures, but these do not grow parallel to the house...they jut out at around a 35 degree angle from the house.  They are super messy and always full of bees.  Not to mention, the one on the right side of the garage is getting ready to grow through the power lines connected to the house.  Bad news as far as I'm concerned and an excellent reason to cut these down.  

So, I suppose I have done enough writing about all of this and should really get moving on getting Day 1 underway.  I escaped jury duty for another day, but who knows what tomorrow might bring.  Onward!
