yard workin'

Jun 30, 2006 16:45

finally finished weed-whacking the yard today. it only took me a week. 7-8 hours in all. still left about ten feet in the very back of solid morning glory and blackberry brambles. i didn't realize it was so bad. once i really got in there i found the grass was actually as high as my shoulders. and so thick that i could only cut it down to about a foot tall. i was surprised that i didn't see any snakes or rabbits. there were lots of neat animal trails and nesting spots and also a few neat looking moths that would flutter out of the weeds as i went along. so glad it's done. now i can cut it with a gas mower, and after that we'll finally be able to use our trusty push mower. that will be nice and inexpensive. christie felt bad for me because i did all the work myself, so she handed over the only beer in the fridge. so nice to drink a cold one on a hot day after a lot of laborious work. i laid under the tree and drank it while i read my book.
