The Back 40

Well, ok, it's more like the back .3 acres but pushing the lawn mower up the hill last night it definitely felt like more than that. Some friends had graciously given me a lawn mower they weren't using any more and I was happy not to pay $40 to the yard guy. It was hard work but I had a great sense of satisfaction when I finished. The house blessing is tomorrow and I'm super-excited. Still a couple of things that need to get done before then, but I think I'm generally on track.
