Yesterday evening Derek worked on siding on the pop out wall on the deck, I sat in the back yard pulling weeds, and Luke sat under the deck taste-testing river rocks. After about an hour of pulling weeds and planting a few wildflowers transplanted from Helene's yard, I was ready to go inside - especially since Luke had decided taste-testing rocks was overrated and he wanted to walk around the corner of the house where the neighbors just sprayed weeds.
Luke and I went inside and played with toys for a while and Derek stayed outside to work on a few other projects. I nursed Luke around 8pm and was going to give him a bath, but he fell asleep while he was eating! So we just sat together on the couch and I read my book. It's not very often this little guy falls asleep in my arms anymore and I wanted to enjoy it. Around 8:30 Luke woke up to a strange sound. It took me a minute to place it too - what was that? The lawnmower!
Hello lawnmower. It's been a very long time!
Seriously, I love summer just for the sound of the lawnmower. And that lawn is just gorgeous. I can't wait to come back and roll around on it and get all grass-stainy.
