not much house stuff today

Today I didn't get much done around the house. There was a lot of running around to do away from home. Our information for the concrete countertops is on the way.

Here is a shot of our current trash pile. We've had one for many months. We fill our trash bins each week, but there is always more trash. We could get a dumpster, but it seems like a waste to pay to remove trash when we have empty space in out bins each week. Also, most of this stuff is recyclable, so we make sure to separate it.


We had the ficus trees trimmed last month (exactly one month ago). They were trimmed pretty severely since they hadn't been done in years. They are growing back quickly, and seem to be really sprouting now that I am watering them.
