Happy Saturday! I hope you’ve had a good week!

We’ve had lower temps with lower humidity this week so I took advantage of it and got outside. The flower beds alongside our walkway have tons of weeds because I haven’t been able to get out there and tend to them. Since my ankle is feeling a lot better (and I get to sit down outside), I’ve been pulling weeds the past few mornings.

That also allowed me to meet a neighbor who lives across the street diagonally from us. She gave us the scoop on most of the neighbors around us and even explained that there used to be a railing around the small balcony above our front door.

She told us about the man who lived in the house for years before the owner before us. He was actually supposed to visit her that afternoon and she was going to ask if he had any pictures of the home when he lived there. Fingers crossed that he does and that he doesn’t mind sharing them with us!

My husband has been trying to run wire in the basement so he can hook up all of the internet stuff and whatever else he’s doing down there.

While he was down there, he happened to come across a skeleton key that fits the old doors throughout the house. I love skeleton keys so that was an exciting find!

Since I’ve been outside pulling weeds, I’ve been thinking about edging to go along the flower beds along the front of the house. I came across a post of 25 unique lawn edging ideas and there are some really pretty ideas on there. I’m just having a hard time deciding! What type of edging do you have (or like best) along your flower beds?

This one is my favorite but it seems like it could be expensive with as many bricks as I would need. There are just too many decisions!

This mama deer always comes to visit. Late one night there were 2 of them in our front yard, very close to our front door. And Wednesday there was a baby deer following close behind.

She’s so pretty and doesn’t seem all that skittish. I guess she’s gotten used to us. She doesn’t let us get too close, though. Not that I’m trying. My dad and I were chased by a deer many moons ago and I’m not trying to go through that again!
