New Door!

Mr. SP worked really hard this past weekend to get our new door installed.  We are both happy that this project is finally complete.  The top of the door has an interchangeable panel that can either be a screen or glass.  It's still stinking hot here, so for now we have the screen in place. 

I treated myself to some mums this weekend and am anxiously awaiting their pretty yellow blooms.

Autumn Clematis on the front of the house should bloom any time now. 

Do you see how dead the grass looks between the landscape bed and the house?  I sprayed it with Round-up over a week ago and hope to start fresh with grass only and no weeds.  We'll see how that goes!

Thanks to all of you who left sweet comments about my back.  I'm still not able to run or walk but the therapist says I'm making progress.  I go back on Friday and have my fingers crossed that I'll get a good report.  I'm not in any pain at all but my hip and spine don't want to stay in the correct position and it looks like I'll be sidelined until they start to behave.

Mr. SP is out mowing the grass right now.  Grass mowing is one of my very favorite chores.  I guess I should enjoy the fact that I have an excuse not to do it!
