Evenin'; chuckled about your comment on the traffic noise, you'd be surprised how soon it will be just in the background. We live a block from the RR tracks in a formerly small town. Don't hardly hear the trains. :-)
Sounds like you've been keeping busy.
LOL...I know it's probably only a matter of time...but you should have heard it last night. Apparently there was some sort of piece of tin in the road...and dang near every car ran over it as they drove past. heh...so not only did I get the traffic noise, but each car would make a loud "cha-CHANK".
I'm thinking ear plugs for the time-being.

Like you, I finally got the "round tuit" and did some landscaping/gardening today. Picked up a nice boxwood for the side porch, and put up some fencing out front (I have nightmares of Autumn running into the street).
