Robert and I did some yard work yesterday and it was a beautiful day as long we stayed in the shade.
Here is what we were working on:
Before
After
and we did the other side last week.
We had to make a trip to Home Depot for the wood chips and were surprised to see the southern sky (opposite side of the house that we were on) full of smoke. There are fires burning all over Southern California right now, and a fire started burning yesterday in Orange County just south of where we live, in the Corona and Yorba Linda areas. You can see the progression of the fire on this LA Times Map. We live just north of the 10 freeway, so you can see it is actually getting pretty close. Good thing we live in the middle of the city and not in the hills. Last night we looked out our window and could see the hills along the south horizon glowing with fire.We tried taking a picture, but the other light sources drowned out most of the glow. You can still see it though if you look closely. The fire was all along the ridge.
So here is a pic from the LA Times
In other exciting news, we got curtains! No more sheets hanging on the windows! It's amazing how they make the house feel more like a home. Now I am excited to hang up pictures .
More house pictures when we hang up our pictures and clean up a little. And lastly, we obviously have our camera working now. Here is me at 18 weeks.

The house is looking great, and so are you!
Your flowers look wonderful! Where is the lettuce? : )
Cute Melarie! Good job on the yard. Our bellies are looking about the same. :) Pretty fun, eh? It still weirds me out everytime I look down or glance in the mirror and see my profile. But it's fun! I'm glad things are going well.
Looking good; you and the landscape. I have a picture on the day you purchased the home, excellent improvement.
oh look at that little bump. how cute.
Cute pregnant Melarie! Cute yard! Not so cute fires! Too bad about the heat wave, but at least you look great pregnant. :)
Melarie, you are glowing, and the pictures from the house look good too. Nice work. Hopefully the smoke will not bother you too much. Good luck in SF.
Oh, what a good looking baby bump! Great job with your yard.
That's crazy about the fires- they got pretty close to Kenny's home in Anaheim Hills.
Great job on the yard! It's amazing how much nicer the whole house can look by just puting down new mulch and weeding! And Melarie, you make a beautiful pregnant lady! Keep the belly pics coming! So fun!
Oh I love what you have done with the yard and the curtains! And you look fabulous with your growing belly, so cute. We are way excited for you guys. Good luck with your presentation in SF.
Your house looks great and so do you. Stay cool!
