awesomely delightful. that was our weekend.

we did some yard work over the weekend. it was loads fun. so many people warned us of the downsides of buying a home, especially a home with lots of grass. it was hard work but we enjoyed it and we look forward to more weekends where we can mow, trim and water. it's our first time so we're learning as we're going. i'm still getting used to the bugs that are outside though and yangkyu is getting bit mercilessly by mosquitos. he even thought about buying mosquito net clothing (!), but i said why not just stick to off? an acquaintance of ours bought some citronella candles and plants, which i think we'll try as well. 

piri wasn't too impressed with the doggy pool we got him and instead hung out on the deck overseeing the yard work like a boss. 

we had cold soba noodles and baked white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies. we have less cabinet space in the kitchen than we did at our rental so i have to do a lot of maneuvering to get to my pots and pans and dishes and bowls, but that's ok. i've been enjoying my time in there. 

the weekday is now upon us. that means it's back to our routine of getting up at 5:30 in the morning to start our day. 

this week i'll be hopefully getting in some reading time {currently reading where'd you go, bernadette} and doing some more research on sewing machines. i want one but not sure if i'll be handy with it. i haven't used one since 7th grade home economics class. and that was a long time ago. 

have a good week ahead!
