My favorite part about compiling weekly 365 posts is seeing all that we DID in the last week. Sometimes I can’t believe that we managed to fit so many projects and ideas into a single week. It’s been so beautiful out and our yard was getting a little (a lot) out of control on the weed front, so we spent a lot of time trying to tame the jungle that has sprung up on our back hill. It’s kind of an endless task but it makes me feel so accomplished to see an entire trash can full of weeds (yeah, it’s totally out of control back there). Plus doing one project always starts an improvement snowball for me – the yard was looking so much better that I finally decided it was time to hang the string lights I bought something like two months ago. They are just a few inexpensive sets of lights but they have literally changed our lives (I know, lights, really?) They are so pretty that they make me want to spend more time outside. We’ve been eating almost all of our dinners out under the lights and even trading in some mindless phone-staring after the kids’ bedtime for bundled up conversations out on the patio. Totally worth every last penny.
