Raking @ MindSay

I spent today at the beach for 3 hours.. it wasn't exactly the best day, but it was warm and windy, and I sat at a picnic table under one of the pavillions and ate the lunch I packed, and just hung out reading my book forever.  It was beautiful. 

Now i'm working on cooking dinner, which is homemade frenchfries, hamburgers, and or hotdogs, and some kind of vegetable, that I haven't decided yet. 

I also worked on my garden, raking out all of the dead leaves, and making it look pretty kind of, and then I walked the dog, and worked with him on heeling, and sitting and all of that stuff.

I feel very accomplished, and sleepy now. 

Life is marvelous. 

I still love my beautiful red trees, but I liked them a lot better when they still looked like this:

They dropped their leaves in record time, and I have been raking, bagging, and sneezing all afternoon!

Today we are doing flea control.  I went to Home Depot, and I got some yard spray, gloves and another rake.  Oh, and a huge dust pan to help get the leaves (and crap) into the trash bags.  Sweetie's out there right now raking, and I've already done a little raking.  It's going to be a big job, but at least we are working together to get it done.  I'm waiting for Noah to go down for his nap.  I'm probably about to put him to bed. 

I'm still sick, but I have energy so I'm going to use it.  I know I should probably be resting, but we can't let this flea problem go on any longer.  This morning, Moby (in back) was whining right by our window, then he STARTED SCRATCHING THE HOUSE!  Poor guy, he's miserable!  Well, gotta get to work!  Have a great Sunday.
