At last post I talked about "the jungle" (the bushes at the front of the house). My husband decided he would simply trim them in hopes they would shape up and look good...well...it didn't work...however as he was trimming, our youngest son and myself were helping to clear the debris away and ended up getting poison ivy. Both he and I went to the doctors to get on steroids because it way out of control...I hate poison ivy! I was doing well with it until it started growing up my nose and that's when I called it quits. What happened to the bushes you ask? Well, my husband took the chain saw to them and now they don't exist, YEAH!! However, 2 weeks after that, we found more poison ivy in the yard, UGH! Husband pulled it out and I was being so careful to not touch it, but as luck would have it when I went to do his laundry, not thinking of the oils being on his clothes, I got it again. This time it was very manageable, I think maybe because I still had some of the steroids left in my system. Did I mention that I hate poison ivy?
Last night we went to Menards and got almost all of our flooring (carpet and linoleum). We still have yet to get the living room carpet but for now we will get the other rooms done. Menards was/are having a Fourth of July sale going, an extra 22% percent off the remnant prices so we found remnants for 3 rooms. Love saving money!
I cannot wait to get this house done and move in. I'm looking forward to the quietness of the country, to having a big garden next year, to possibly having chickens (though I'm scared of birds, I look forward to having fresh eggs).
May you all have a relaxing Fourth of July weekend!
