The last month or so of rain, snow and wind has left our yard in total disarray. The pine needles have almost completely blanketed our lawn, a gi-normous branch snapped off with the weight of the snow, and pine cones and moldy leaves are in a ferocious number! It's been bothering me since we returned from our long vacation and today's the day I will be able to again look at our property with a little pride; as much as you possibly can in this dead and wet time of the year (I almost wish we had a bit of a snow blanket to cover the mess).
Now that D's record is pretty much wrapped up I can finally put him to work around the house, E's the perfect age to really help out, and I can safely say that my energy level has returned and my back is feeling better.
We trimmed, chopped, raked, hauled, mowed and piled and I'm beginning to feel a bit of relief from all our hard work. We still have plenty to do, but it's a start.
