IronMan

Don't let that title confuse you. I in NO WAY competed in the IronMan this weekend - but I did volunteer in the Medical/Massage Tent! I was able to set up my table with another doc I graduated with on Saturday morning for the IronKids event. We saw a few kids then the rest of the day we treated the adults as they were checking in. We were under the tent all day, but I still have a stellar farmer's tan going on!


Sunday we set up our tables at 10:00 and started treating by 10:15. The line was NEVER ENDING!! We didn't stop treating until 4:30 that afternoon - it was great but man am I pooped! I love what I do, but this is how I'm feeling about work this week --

The other day we picked up this number from our neighbors curb!  We haven't gotten around to getting a table for the backyard to sit at, so this was the perfect opportunity.  I'm thinking about spray painting it something fun like turquoise or blue...  We'll see.  I'm also keeping my eye out for some iron chairs instead of our folding chairs that we are using currently. 

Our other neighbor is getting ready to rent his house, so he has been doing a bunch of yard work lately.  His backyard is full of some great plants but it is also full of weeds, so he decided to spray EVERYTHING with round up - aka murder all plants.  So we swept in and saved some day lilies for our front yard as well as ALL of the peonies from his yard.  I LOVE PEONIES!!!!  They were our wedding flower, so whenever I see them I get super excited!  

The peonies went to the backyard and the day lilies replaced the Fox-glove I planted out front earlier this year - since aparently they are poisonous... Thanks Home Depot, I'm puttin that one on you. 

The same neighbor is getting rid of a BUNCH of yard bricks, so we jumped on that and here is our next project for the front yard...

In other garden news, we've got lots of veggies growing!

Broccoli (we also had worms, but sprayed so hopefully they are all gone!)

Tomatoes

Eggplant

The Husband was a busy bee while I was at the IronMan this morning as well.  He mowed and trimmed the trees and bushes... apparently this bush was talking back - as this is all that's left

He also found this in the corner...

Yes that is a snake skin - I don't do snakes.  This totally freaks me out and I'm super paranoid about going in the yard now.  Won't go without shoes, constantly watching where I'm stepping, anytime Miss B finds a stick to chew on I freak because I'm just sure it is a snake!  I'm sure it is just a gardner snake, but that still really grosses me out!
