Part of the process of getting our back yard into shape included pulling out a lot of old drainage and watering system pipes. These pipes, in addition to the leaky water heater and other assorted "stuff," has made our driveway yard look like a junk yard.
Todd's plan for Saturday was to start cutting up the pipes so that they would fit into our garbage cans. The day started out overcast as Todd got the boys to help him gather all of the pipes for cutting. Getting their cooperation was like pulling teeth and I think Todd ended up moving most of the pipes himself. He made quite a bit of progress and filled two trash cans before the weather turned rainy in the afternoon.
Junk pile of pipes.
Progress!
Tuesday is Todd and my 17th wedding anniversary, so we decided to go to our favorite restaurant in New Orleans for lunch on Sunday. It was still raining and we didn't realize that many of the streets were flooded as we made our way to the restaurant. Todd tells me that New Orleans is like a bowl and that the water has to be pumped out and doesn't just drain away. The boys were interested in seeing all of the flooded streets and we even saw some cars that had water up to the windows. We had to make a couple of detours, but finally got to the restaurant and had a great lunch.
In the afternoon we hung out with our pets and each other and had a nice, lazy day.
