Curfew and getting so much done!

Who new an 8pm curfew and riots could keep you at home more than Covid19 stay at home! Mpls and St Paul were a mess this past weekend. Fire, riots, protests, covid-19, tear gas, rubber bullets, national guard, boarded up and closed stores, destruction, sadness, Black lives matter, and the list goes on. It's been a lot for everyone. Even harder for minorities. Can we all just stop and do the right thing, be kind, be considerate, don't hate. I don't even know where to go with all that's happening right here in Minnesota and across the world right now. I'll just concentrate on what I can control and do.

We made more progress taming our wild back yard. Got all the branches broken down for fire wood, mulch is all in (not in photo), and we put some black dirt and seed down to start growing grass!

mulch done under our deck! The next big project is painting the deck rails and sanding the deck board, then staining. It's looking better. So far we've washed the back of the house, washed the windows, put down mulch, mowed the grass two times, planted herbs in the garden, seeded the lawn, sprayed the weeds and added some dirt to tree roots sticking out of the ground. Still more to go! 

Our fire pit and lawn needs lots of attention. I'll be digging out the fire pit, adding more dirt and seed a little at a time. Zoey won't have any where to run in the yard if I do it all at once. 

We've had some nice bonfires and had a few drinks while on curfew. 

We made some street beef taco's and my crackers!

We did another purchase splurge for camping and had to try it out! 

 We bought this gas portable grille for cooking breakfast when camping. It works pretty good at home too! Pancakes, eggs all at once.

Steve and I even went running in the mornings. He was up for 1.5 miles of running! Adding a little more every run!
