One thing that isn't "Hobbit" about this house is the yard...and it has been neglected during this growing season. There are several vines that have taken over and today, I started the process to get some of the plants back. My plan when I first walked out there was to tackle the plants along the walkway, however, the vines near the back door grabbed my attention before I could even get around to the front walkway.
There are roses in the backyard, and until I pulled some 3 foot weeds and a few huge vines out, you wouldn't even know they were there. It has been months since many of the plants were even separated from being just one big clump. i worked for an hour before the sun got too high. I only got one corner done, but I think if I tackle a little bit each day, I can make a difference out there. This evening after it cools down, I am going to put all the stuff I pulled into the yardwaste can and see if I can make some headway on the walkway ones.

Decorations
Being that this is a temporary situation (and I refuse to think of it as anything else), I have been very hesitant to decorate much. First off because I already own more than enough decor than any one person needs (just not here), and secondly because it just seems pointless and a waste of scarce funds since I am only temporarily living here.
Needless to say, when I was visiting family for Mother's Day this year, we were at a craft fair of sorts and I came across this little guy and just couldn't pass him up. He is hanging outside the door I use to enter my house (which is not the front door) and adds a little bit of me to the place.
