Curb Appeal

Hey all (or shall I say the Campbell bloodline - our loyal readers!). So I've finally wrestled control away from Frank and am allowed to post on my own:). It's been a good weekend, although not as house-centric as usual. We took a break on Saturday - Frank's co-worker Liz invited us to the Mets game, so instead of sitting in the hot sun on our lawn, we sat in the hot sun at Citi Field. We had a really great time, actually, and it was so nice not to think about the house for a few hours. Today we were back into house mode - we finished up the flower bed with mulch and edging. We've also planted a Japanese maple in our front yard. Right now it's so tiny but we have big hopes for her! Poor Frank tried to plant it in one place but hit such a huge root so we had to move it over. Lord only knows where that root was coming from but now we have a dirt patch to deal with. But that's for next weekend! This week we'll welcome our first house guests - Anna and Kate (separately). We're hoping that they can overlook the lack of guest room furniture and absence of a kitchen and still enjoy our new place with us. We shall see...
