3 day weekend

So Marleene and I both had last Friday off, you know, since it was Good Friday and all, and everyone knows there is no such thing as a "good Friday" when you have to work. All Fridays should be "good," meaning, NO WORK! Here's to a 4 day work week and a 3 day weekend, every week, every month, every year.

But anyways, I took my time off on Friday to do a little yard work, I had picked up some plants on the cheap during the week and saw fit to make sure they lived their fullest in my yard, instead of in the pots in my garage where they had been for the week.

Crape Myrtle, Variegated Privet, Esperanza, Salvia Greggii (previously installed) Maiden Grass and Aztec Grass with a nice layer of Cypress mulch and limestone border makes for a looking bed in the back corner. All in all it took me about 3 hours on Friday to remove the grass, cut in the trench for the edging, install the plants and mulch. Not too bad, felt good to get outside and do some physical labor, break a sweat, get my hands dirty, plus Marleene was working on the computer inside, so I stayed out of her hair which she appreciated.

Saturday held a full day of shopping as Marleene and I got out of the house and went to some local shopping centers, followed up by a nice dinner at Casa Ole. Sunday we had our Easter service at church, the Justin Cofield Band rocked the house and Jeff Mangum (our pastor) brought the Resurrection story in a way that was fresh and encouraging. It was a good weekend, I do love me some 3 day weekends.
