So according to KING5 weather, this is going to be the last nice day for at least a week, maybe more ? So I thought I better try and get something done in the back yard...so much to do and so little time :)
I painted a container (I love painting containers :) and planted a rose bush for Kylie. I'm not a big fan of roses, in fact, they are a pita, but she really wanted one, so... she picked out a Chicago Peace they bloom pink and orange. Of course I had to paint a container to match :)
I thought I really needed to get a start on the mowing too. Unfortunately, weed whacker number 2 (you don't want to know about number 1) just won't work, it keeps feeding way too much string, and whacking my ankles and shins. So I only got a little bit of edging done and even less mowing. My red-neck engineering of superglue and duck tape just won't cut it any more, I have to get a new one next week...
So, I did some edging and a little mowing and decided I really needed to cut some more blackberries back; they are going crazy over the fence. I found out that you really shouldn't use an old resin table as a ladder, when the real thing is just a few feet away (well, I've been told I really shouldn't climb the ladder when no one else is home :) so, I crushed a table, but dang, those blackberries are EVERYWHERE !!! and the yard waste toter is full, again, is time for weekly pick-ups yet !!!!
Of course, earlier in the week, I was lured into thinking the good weather is really here to stay, so I bought some new plants. Of course I planted the rose (which I'll now have to cover next week, (see it's a pita) and 3 new purple plants (in my new non-mowing zone :) love my yard, but it's a LOT to mow :)
Oh well, it's only March :) I have plenty of time to get the yard in tip-top shape before I have to start working on the pool :)
I love working in my yard and listening to the M's who won another Spring Training game~hope that Sweeney actually makes the team, if Jr can Sweeney can !! oh, and get this, I guess Fantasy Football isn't enough, I'm playing Fantasy Baseball too !! Wait, March Madness is just around the corner :) How far will 'Cuse go ??? what was I thinkin' :)
