Maybe not the smoothest start

So Mr. Pear left for his business trip this morning at 4:45AM. I felt so bad for him having to leave so early! Of course, he felt bad because with all the trouble we had with the landscapers last night he forgot to sit down and talk to Miss Pear about what was happening until it was already bed time, and basically too late. I felt so bad that I basically stayed awake after that.

The good news is that the landscaping is done. We had to have help because our sprinkler system was not working (they replaced over 80% of it), we had a very heavy vine on the fence that if left unchecked was going to take down the fence in the next couple years, we had such bad drainage in the back yard that we were risking slab damage, and the patio was actually raised by about an inch so Miss Pear kept tripping and skinner her knees. Also, the flower beds were rock solid, so they needed to be dug out and amended. All jobs we could not do ourselves. The good news is that it is all done, and we will soon be able to plant our seedlings.

Today was a long day - they always are when it is just the two of us somehow, with no Mr. Pear returning home from work or calling just because. It was complicated by the fact that Miss Pear is having a horrible time teething her molars.

Hence no freezer meals post today, when she napped I napped too. I am planning on posting some recipes tomorrow and Friday of things we made in our marathon cook, but not the best ever meatloaf because it was not...it was not the best ever that is.

Good night.
