Defeated

Some sad news...

We didn't make "Yard of the Month."

And just to make it awkward, our neighbors across the street got it! She's my visiting teaching companion and friend, so it's not like I'm bitter... just confused. They have 3 cute pumpkins on their porch and a string of lights over the door. That's it.

I'm starting to suspect that the award goes to the best-kept yard. Theirs is always nicely mown (is that a word?) and they've planted pretty little flowers under the window. It's definitely very nice... I was just surprised :P

I guess I needed humbling.
