Happy Spring!

Hellooooo! Is anyone still out there? There hasn't been much to say lately, so I wouldn't blame you if you stopped following along! I did actually make some progress this weekend though - long overdue (like, LOOOOOOONG overdue) - I mowed the lawn...for the first time since last summer! It was really bad...a good foot high in places. I don't have a before picture because it was just too embarrassing :P I will say it was so bad that I got a lawn care business card stuck in my mail box...oof!

Freshly mowed!

See all those clumps of grass? Yeah, I don't know what to do with them...they'll probably just die and fertilize the lawn. Those purple flowers were a nice surprise! I honestly wouldn't pin the previous owner for someone with a green thumb, but there are bulbs everywhere in the front of the house, and it's really pretty! Who knew!

In other news...Wendy came over last night and helped me with phase 1 of the kitchen backsplash! That's right, progress has been made in the kitchen :) I thought about posting a couple of pictures of what it looks like so far, but ultimately decided that I'll just post a bunch of progress pics when the whole thing is done. The hardest part is definitely over,  but some decisions need to be made before the next phase can be completed. I'm going to try and get a bunch done before I leave for my NY/PA/IL trip in just under a month...I'm planning on having a big party for my birthday and I won't have much time after the trip to prepare! Commence - April house blitz!
