Busy Weekend

So our landlord called and said she was going to be in town this weekend and wanted to come by to see the work that had been done on the house. A tree had fallen on the house right before we moved in. She lives in California now, and she had not seen the finished product. So we gave the house a once over. It was a good thing. It really motivated us, and it makes me feel good to have all the bits in order.

We have an apple tree at the end of the driveway. It is not quite a crab apple tree, but they are about the size of golf balls. It must be a pain for our neighbors. The people that live in front of us (keep in mind we live on a flag lot... our house sits behind another one) share the end of our driveway. There were apples everywhere... smooshed by the cars. The neighbor on the side had apples all over their side yard. So I went out and picked all the apples out of the driveway, and all the ones on the neighbors side yard. I picked up only about a third of all of the apples and I got about 60 gallons worth. Holy crap!!! I left the ones in our flower bed. The insulting thing was that about 20 fell while I was picking them up. One even fell and beaned me on the shoulder.
