Saturday: Fairview Work Day

So today turned out to be a work day at Jess and Ben's new house in Amherst. We are trying to get it looking a bit more appealing before they come home. :-) Baird and I headed down there mid morning with the intention of spending a couple of hours doing the much needed lawn and yard work . After a few fiasco situations...such as the lawn mower leaking gas all over the driveway....we did get the yard pretty well cleaned up. Baird mowed (with a neighbor's mower in the end) and weed wacked while I dug up grass, planted about 3 dozen little day lilies (dug from my garden at home early this AM) and raked. The neighbor LOVED the new look of the place. That was encouraging. I called the landlady in CT and talked to her about the lawn mower and told her we cleaned up, planted some flowers, etc. She seemed delighted to have people who acutally care about the place. In the end, we got home in time to make dinner and crash. Now we are listening to the band Garbage, on the TV. Interesting........
