It's downright chilly outside.

(This is our lovely backyard. It's currently just dirt and a few citrus trees. We have grand plans for it, though.)

We have been enjoying a pretty mild spring in these parts.
It's hardly even gotten into the 90s!

Mike stayed home from work today to help me because I am sick. But with a forcasted high of only 79 he decided his time would be better spent digging trenches for our new sprinkler system.
I guess it's a good thing that I am feeling a teeny bit better because I don't think I am going to get much help.

But at least I will get sprinklers.

  6. Can you believe the weather?? When I went to pick up my kindergartner from school at 11:00, it was only 65 degrees outside! I was actually a little cold.
    As for your yard, I'm sure it will be lovely. It is SO big, and you have citrus trees... I'm a little jealous.

  7. I was fully expecting triple digits, thought that's what I heard on the news. I was thrilled to go out today and find it overcast and we cancelled our trip to tempe sprinkler park because it was too cold. SHOCKING! I only wish it could stay this way all summer.
    Sorry you are sick. Seems you have had it in your house for awhile, or is it food poisoning?
    i don't know if you are interested but i have started using (shock to myself) some natural (i know i know) stuff from drschulze.com. He has a product for food poisoning, and really any illness. i have been using the echinacea to keep my immune system strong and haven't been sick for a long time. Sorry for the novel.
