Today was almost as perfect as could be. Temp in the mid to upper 70s and sunshine with just enough clouds. After church today (and lunch with friends afterwards), we continued our weekend of work.

Chip painted the wood around the windows.

I decided to tackle the large shrub and other plants in the bed in our front yard.

Here is what it looked like before

and after (about 1 hour later!)

Once we were done with that work, I decided to look at some of nature's calling cards.

I found that we have a ton of spiders (some quite large - 1/2 inch body size) along the shrubs in the front yard.
