This is Fraser on the annual Easter Egg Hunt. See the mess of weeds behind him? They aren't there anymore! And I killed about 3,000 snails in the process. The dead grass is making me very mad. It all started when a relative of a guy that works in my husband's office building asked if he could barter some electrical work for a bankruptcy. Well, the lights and the fountain on the grass side of the yard haven't worked for three years, so I thought that this might be a great way to get them fixed. Why do barters never work out for us? He did come and replace the fountain pump. But he never came back to replace the light wiring. So what with Fraser digging up the pipes and me turning off the sprinklers to that section, we now have no grass. I am not very happy about it. Which is what my husband told the guy in his office. But has the electrician come this week! Needless to say, this guy isn't getting his bankruptcy done by us. Now I've got to find someone who will do electrical work for cheap so I can plant new grass. Before the landlord sees it would be nice!
On a happier topic and speaking of Easter, I love the color of these tulips that I used for the center of the table.
I love the bunny thing that is around the flowers. I found it at Marshalls. My kids think it's creepy. What do they know! And leave it to me to only have pictures of the table after we ate, er, devoured everything in sight. I forgot to take pictures of the clean, nicely set table. So you get dirty plates. Sorry!
I'll leave you with this picture of Grace and the plethora of peeps. I think they were reproducing on that tray! I certainly couldn't have bought that many.
By the way, they sat on this tray on top of the freezer for over a week. Then they were considered fit for consumption. Stale peeps are the best!

you lie. You did buy that many peeps. I had the stomach ache to prove it. But stale peeps are the only way to eat a peep.
That Bunny thing IS creepy.

you can find out on the next installment of the story. Trust me, my short stories aren't all that short.
I saw you on yammering muse and here I am. I know what you mean about the back yard, I have decided today to buy tuff rather than seed the bare patch, much quicker and instant effect
