Over the holiday weekend, Lindsey and I completed a yard project that has been on "the list" for about three years. Nothing fancy. Just putting down some weed barrier, rocks, and pavers under the deck so we don't have to mow and it doesn't get so jungle-like. Gardening and yard work always make me feel so satisfied. Those are the rare occasion when my mind isn't racing with a million other thoughts. I'm just in the zone, completely in the moment with the task at hand. I haven't done much gardening at this house. This yard and I never connected and it was just harder to find the time with a newborn. I am very eager to find a house with a loveable yard, or one I can transform into loveable. On Sunday afternoon, when we were done, we sat back against the fence, our nails crusted with dirt, drinking lemonade and feeling might proud with what we'd accomplished in the little space of three hours.
