Turning over a new leaf

Literally. Over the last few days I have become more interested in cultivating the great outdoors. Today Wendy & I began the long process of cleaning up all the weeds and grass from the backyard. We don't want to grow any grass due to the water requirements, but weeds seem to sprout up with the slightest bit of moisture. Also, we have a small area out front that we have always wanted to do something with. I found myself clearing that all out and trying to get some various plants to grow. Go figure that I start to take an interest in all of this with the weather starting to get hotter out.
