Today was our first annual Neighborhood Clean Up and BBQ and it was FABULOUS! There are nine houses on our cul de sac. We all gathered at 10 AM this morning and cleaned up/planted/mulched the community flower beds, cleaned the fence that surrounds our community, mowed the grass and took down some large wooden poles. We worked for two hours solid and had lots of fun doing it.
Then, we all dragged our BBQ's, chairs and one big shade tent out into the middle of the circle and BBQ'd. We had all gotten one side dish to share with the group and we had a big feast! The weather was perfect (mid 70's with nothin' but sunshine), the company awesome and the exercise was fantastic. I was smart and put on SPF 45 in the morning, so I didn't burn to a crisp. Kelly got some wonderful color that will turn into a beautiful golden brown in the next couple of days.
It was a REALLY good time and reaffirms what we love so much about this community. These are good people that we live with. They are excited about the baby and we just know that the women who live near us will be by to hold Bailey and help us out. It's just wonderful to live here and to be surrounded by true community.
Then, we closed out the day shooting the shit with one of our neighbors on our front porch as the sun went down. We got some ice cream and enjoyed the cooling evening air.
Talk about an absolutely perfect spring day.
