spring cleaning

I am by no means a clean freak. Just ask Britt. I am the clutter queen, but lately i have had spring cleaning fever. It is crazy. I mean, last week I got out and cleaned the OUTside of the windows. Who does that? Holly Duke that's who. I just received my Martha Stewart Homekeeping Handbook in the mail.Yes, cleaning is so foreign to me that i need a Handbook. I am excited about what i might learn from good ole Martha.

Spring has motivated Britt as well. He got out to do yard work in the back of our house and has discovered we have a small gold mine out there (a.k.a. landscaping stone 6-8 inches under the soil). We were planning on making a small investment in these nice stones and now we have dug up all we need! Amazing. The plan is to have an acceptable backyard by my birthday (June one). I think we can do it!

It's EARTH DAY! In honor of this special day, a few of us UBCers went out to Cameron Park on Sunday afternoon to pick up trash on the trails. We spend nearly 3 hours scouring the park and I think we made a considerable difference out there. Happy Earth Day!
