i'm too sexy for my baggy, sweat-stained t-shirt

here are some of the exciting ways the handsome man and i memorialized this holiday weekend:
  • pruning bushes and trees
  • scraping and recaulking the tub
  • shoveling four yards of dirt across our property
  • seeding the lawn
  • scrubbing the kitchen floor on hands and knees
  • taking down storm windows and putting up screens
  • mowing the lawn
  • weeding
  • planting herbs
  • doing six loads of laundry
  • purchasing a weather radio, two emergency flashlights, and two first aid kits (one for home, one for car) now that tornado season is upon us
and yet, all this was mitigated by that great spring tonic:  rhubarb pie. there are some things to be said for living in minnesota.
