Takin' in Easy at Rancho Relaxo

Chillin in the Moby

Short one today.  Not much to report on. Pretty slow days here at Rancho Relaxo.  Safia, we suspect, is undergoing yet another (whew!) growth spurt.  She is eating voraciously and is grumpier than normal.  We’re feeling better equipped (with experience that is) to see it through, so I think we can overcome this phase unscathed and with less frustration.  Today Ellen goes to Atlanta for a meeting, so it’s Daddy and Daughter day (it’s really only for a few hours, so no worries). 

We are also  in the process of reclaiming our backyard.  When we bought our house three years ago, the back section of our yard was already overrun with weeds and invasive weed trees and other undesirable plant growth.  In the three years we’ve owned the house, we’ve done very little to rectify the situation, so it had gotten kinda out of hand.  We just recently hired a team of landscapers through a group called Unity, a project of the Economic Justice Coalition and the Georgia Works Program, where low-wage workers are paid a fair wage and are given valuable work skills training.  Our yard looks great and we have committed ourselves to transforming the newly reclaimed section of our yard into a pleasing, landscaped plant utopia.  So if you’re in the area, we might be having a yard beautification party if you want to lend a helping hand.  Ok, this was a longer post than I intended…sorry.  Hope everyone’s good.
