Sunday Funday?

This week I didn't have Camp Gladiator! I definitely needed the break. Today, that all ended! We had not yet done our Spring Cleaning of our yard. We already had weeds sprouting up in the back yard.. okay so sprouting up was putting it mildly. There were a couple that were about 3 feet tall! So today we started by pulling weeds. Yes, ALL of them! We pulled every single one. After that, +Jimmy Ho  mowed front and back while I edged the front and around the entire back yard and house (Jimmy took over this for the last 3rd because I could not hold up the weed eater any longer). After all of that, we made a little flower bed in the front yard and planted flowers. The place we wanted to put the flower bed happened to have a fire ant mound. That was not great news for Jimmy. I think he got bit about 3 times, but we moved quickly. All of that took us about 4 hours. We fenced off the area where we are putting our garden, but did not have time to take out the grass in that area. That may have to wait for a couple of weeks now since we don't have time next weekend. Here's a pic of the little flower bed and of one of my rose bushes that is just waiting to bloom 2 new roses!

After all that yard work, we gave the dogs a bath!! They certainly needed it. We are about to go brush them in a minute, and I'm sure they will produce enough hair to make another corgi! They had a lot of fun while we were doing yard work. While I was weed eating in the back yard, Bentley actually ran up and BIT the weed eater! I freaked out and yelled. All Jimmy could say was "yeah.. they always do that." What?! I had to yell at him probably 3 different times to get away. I have seen dogs attack vacuum cleaners. Bentley has never done that. I guess the weed eater is his vacuum cleaner.

After all of that, I felt like I deserved a beer! Yeah, I did say no alcohol for a month, but I had a beer, and I did not feel guilty about it at all. In fact, I was pretty proud of myself. A few months ago, there is no way I would have been able to do everything I did today. I'm so excited to be getting stronger! Even though we worked really hard today, I felt like we had a really relaxing day. Who knew yard work can be enjoyable? So here's my beer.. and it just happens to be my favorite! Shiner Ruby Redbird. It has Ginger and Grapefruit in it. SO GOOD!

After we showered, had a beer, and relaxed for a while we went to dinner. A really fancy dinner at Subway, what what?! When we got home I decided to try out making ice cream in the +Vitamix. No, I did not have any. I just made it for Jimmy. It looks pretty creamy, and it smelled good. I'm looking forward to trying some after April It was really easy and took less than 5 minutes from start to finish.

Well time to go rest up for the start of a new week! Back to Camp Gladiator and working hard. Hope you all have a great week!
