Thanks, mrbt! I'm proud of it, too. It looks better, and I feel productive. I've been back out to admire it today and pull a few smaller weeds here and there. Some neighbors have walked over at different times today, and it's been good to have a chance to make some small talk (and though a few of the neighbors are notoriously nosy, I still liked the interaction).
This may sound silly, mrbt, but my primary love language (from the love languages book) is "words of affirmation." I've always appreciated kind words from my family members and friends (and H, of course). It meant a lot to hear a compliment! Thanks for that!
