On The Other Hand

I have missed the Cousins Camp Out this year.  On the other hand, the Mr. and I have done a lot of yard work.

We've been a bit chainsaw happy, getting rid of a lot of dead branches and undergrowth.  On the other hand, we've now given the deer an easier pass over the back fence. 

The backyard looks a lot better.  On the other hand, the Mr.'s face doesn't.  (He might have lost the battle with a branch that skinned up his nose and cheek.)

We'll have to admit that we've been able to accomplish quite a bit.  On the other hand, it wasn't as much fun as hanging out with the CrAzY cousins. 

On the other hand--there's always next year.
