Front Yard Clean Up and Black Quilt Squares

Well that didn't take long, Tina checking out the new cat bed

After work yesterday I went to Home Depot and bought some gloves, clippers, some rock, a couple flowers and Trevor got a huge hack saw looking thing to trim the dead branches off the tree. It worked surprisingly well. I'm so glad I bought some good work gloves. I was able to trim up the rose bush and they worked great for pulling bermuda grass. I still need to clean up the stuff I pulled out and cut because it got too dark to finish last night. I'll be going back out there after work.

I don't even like beer but this sure was good after working in the yard.

Last night I tried laying out the red squares I made with the black but I didn't have enough for it to make a good pattern and I didn't really like it. I decided I like the all black better. Lucy agrees.

Here they are all sewn together. I am thinking of maybe using the reds as a border but maybe cut into strips or something. Something to play with.

I woke up over an hour after I was supposed to start work today. I'm not sure how that happened since I have a set alarm time on my phone and usually hit snooze 12 times before I get up. It must have went off and I somehow turned it off in my sleep? So weird. At least I didn't have to go into the office. Tomorrow I am going in and then I'm taking Thursday and Friday off. Thursday I'm taking my friend for her outpatient surgery in the bay area and then working on shower stuff Friday.
