The torture implement and a
little inspiration |
...when you have a beautiful day, a ton of yardwork and a reel mower? Phew, maybe it's the quick beer in the evening that turned into multiple and a later night than planned (what can I say, I'm a sucker for a nice summer night and outside drinking), but I need a break. I'm trying to crank out some work on my very neglected yard and garden, but I'm getting more of a workout than I'd planned. Pushing the reel mower along the hill in my front yard is a great little exercise. The backyard was another story. My giant tree sheds sticks all the time, so before mowing I had to take care of the presents Wonderpup left me and rake up all the sticks. Then I mowed. I did not heed a dear reader's warning and the grass was looooong. So then I raked again to pick up all the clippings. I actually should mow again, but I decided to come inside, put my feet up and write a post instead.
I have some motivation to get my backyard in a bit better shape. I'd really love to sit out there with a cold beer and a little blaze in the firepit I finally put together. It would be extra nice to have company join me and have the yard look respectable. Not good, mind you, I'm just going for respectable this season - one step at a time!
