I worked outside almost all day yesterday and boy am I feeling it today. It was cloudy and rainy off and on but did not get too bad until later in the afternoon. When is really started to rain I went to Lil Sis's and took her to an open house at a nursery we like and then we went an got her some mulch with the truck.
I was able to get quite a bit done, but there is so much left I just feel like it is never ending. It only took me about 1/2 an hour to clean up all the mess I had made the day before and Hub's and I took that load to the landfill and then home to work steadily.
I took the long edging tool and edged down a big flower bed in the front yard. Hubs asked me why I did not do the entire front as it looked good and I told him because it about killed me. I had to jump with my whole body weight on the tool sometimes twice to get it to cut through the sod, then you had to pull the sod out. I have another truckload of clean up which I will try and load tomorrow.
Some of the areas in front yard did not get cleaned or redone last year and they are taking longer to bring back. Also several plants have overgrown and I knew this last year, but just no time to get there so it is really a bugger to take them out.
After I took Lil Sis to get her plants and bark I went and got my nails done as they were horrible and it had been a month. We are making the out of town missionary rounds this afternoon so I made a large batch of sugar cookies last night. I always take a treat as we are really coming to check (spy) on the young people and want them to look(sort of) forward to our intrusion. I also made enough for the choir, so we could have cookies after practice.
It will take hubs and I about 3 hours of driving to get to the three different sets of missionaries and I hope to be home by about 4:30. Then I will crash.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Sounds like you had a busy day!! I have SO much work to do in the front flower beds. They run the length of my house and haven't been touched in about 3 years due to my husband health and mine but I can not STAND looking at it anymore I just feel so overwhelmed when I do look at though but somehow I have to come up with the easiest way possible to get going on it. Maybe just taking a small space of it at a time?.. I'm going to try my hardest to get out there this week. Hope you've had a blessed Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI would do two feet a day and call it good.
DeleteSpring makes for much physical labor. I feel it more and more the older I get.
ReplyDeleteI work in my time and just do what I can.
Don't over do it!
It is really hard for me not to over do, but I am getting better and better at saying no!
DeleteI'm ready to head out do some yard work. Sadly, I'm under the weather. :( Hopefully I'm on the mend and can get out soon. I always overwork when the season changes.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, hope you get better soon. Don't we all over do when the season changes?
DeleteI need to get out in the yard and clean up a few areas from the winter mess. I hope you're not to sore from doing that work yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI am fine now physically but if we don't get some sunshine pretty soon I might not be responsible for what i do....
