Just to clarify...

OK, I am the first to admit that I have faults. There are only a couple, as far as I have ever found, and I am sure that the rest of you are oblivious to any imperfections I may have. I know, I can feel your surprise from here. Amber has imperfections? Hard to believe, but yes. I, too, have yet to be twinkled because of my teenie, tiny, almost invisible faults.

The point I am trying to make, is that I failed to imply, or even blatantly state, that the problem with my lawn was a sprinkler head that had broken free of the pipe in the ground. Here we come to my slight imperfection: (Pay attention, you might not see this coming) Silly me, I assumed that it was obvious. Then I realized that the video that was sent automatically when I post something actually showed up as just a photo to those I send my blog to. Although it was a lovely picture of my foot, (I expect you all to believe that I had my toenails done just for the occasion) I now realize that you had no way on earth to figure out what was going on.

My sincerest apologies.

Next time I post a video, I will be sure to specify that you need to check the actual blog, thus overcoming my teeny, tiny, almost invisible fault: Never assume.

As for my other imperfection, I should be over it by next Tuesday. Twinkies, anyone?

Houston, we have a problem!

This morning I was walking around the yard, when I thought to myself, "Huh. I don't remember that hill being there." It's right behind our trailer where it is well hidden from our view as we come and go throughout the day. Then, suddenly, everything made sense.



We have been having some problems keeping our grass green, but couldn't find the reason why. Here it is in all of it's glory!


Now, if I were still a child, and not a tired and stressed out mom, I would have taken full advantage of this opportunity by using it as a trampoline. As it was, it didn't even occur to me to have that much fun.

I think that before Doug gets home, I better turn it back on, and make the most of it, don't you think?
