Today started off lazy, but turned in to yard work. It was nice and sunny, the lawn needed mowing and weeds needed pulling. Douglas mentioned he was thinking he'd like to get a leaf blower and I whole heartedly agreed because I could really use one of those for lots of gardening chores aside from fall leaf blowing.
So off to McLendons we went, because #1: the people that work there know their stuff, and #2: we like supporting the local chain where the people that work there can actually knowledgebly advise you on all things hardware.
We came home with a new leaf blower/vacuumer-mulcher. We blew the mounds of mown grass that didn't make it into the bag and noticed that the pine cones that embed themselves into our lawn were popping out and blowing away. It turned into a bit of a fun game.
Yes, I'm easily amused.
