We actually got SO MUCH accomplished today! First of all, I highly recommend getting a 24-hour/day, 7-day/week post office like the one down at the Tampa airport. It's much easier to stand in line on a lazy Sunday afternoon, than to try and make the counter here in town that closes at 4 p.m. during the week. We did all the "blah" weekly grocery shopping, sold the previous owner's washer and dryer (that stayed when we moved in), and then went out to give the front yard a bit of CPR before it got dark. We spent almost 2 hours out there weeding, pruning, hacking, digging, and ripping down/out. The previous owners just did not have an eye for yard design or plantlife. We took out a small tree we both hated (one more will probably go in the next few weeks), and Todd removed a palmetto by the front door that we swear had roots down to China. I'm so exhausted I can barely move other than typing -- but it was SO worth it! I'll actually enjoy looking out the bay window in the dining room tomorrow.. I can't wait 'til fall when we can actually stand to live (and breathe) out there!
