last Wed, Thur, and Friday I put in some serious yard work and have the farmer’s tan to prove it! I made the 14 foot circular area of dead grass (from last year’s above ground pool) into a flower bed. Imagine turning over that much soil, mostly clay!!! I’ll get pics tomorrow and post. It’s spectacular! I had to put in a 2 foot white picket fence around the perimeter to keep the dog out. I was afraid that otherwise my work would all be in vain. I also washed the dog (twice), went to Lowes (twice), WalMart (twice) and went fishing with the kids (twice). Also went to the gas station and Home Depot. I also weeded and dug out two small flowerbeds in front of our shed and planted some sunflower seeds. To top it all off, Mom and I went over to Wes’ on Friday at about noon to work on his flowerbeds. Mom and I went to Lowes, Harb’s and back to Lowes once again. (I think I need to invest in Lowe’s stock. Four trips in 3 days) We planted their front and back flowerbeds. Aghh… So very tired. And so very sunburned on the back of my neck!
