Yesterday I mowed grass and whippersnipped until I was done the whole Yard!
I was outside before 10:30 am, and I was done by 2:20 pm, and that was with bathroom breaks, putting new string in the gas guzzling Stihl, etc!
This is my lawn mower.
This is the yard all done!
The CN storage container should be getting moved to the back 40 this summer!
This is Ray's mess!
I used to mow this whole area last year, now there's crap all over, and the willows and poplars are growing again!
Sure glad it's behind the woodshed, although we did get the 2 X 4's moved that are in the forground! The skidoo has to live somewhere else! It doesn't work.
There are swimming lessons going on in our dugout!
Isn't that cute!
Did all the yardwork yesterday cause V came home with her new man.
He wanted to meet her dad.
2 of her friends came out last night for supper.
One brought salad, and one brought wine.
The kids have to drink wine that tastes like pop or they don't like it!
I like mine a little dryer!
I also like wine with my Sunday night meal.
The kids were here one night, and no one wanted any wine, except me.
K: " Mom, you're drinking alone."
Me: " No I'm not, you guys are here!"
So C brought out 2 bottles of Boones, and we drank them both!
We also had some company while we were sitting out by the fire.
The guys that bought the 1/4 to the south of us.
They told Ray we had a beautiful yard.
I said, I guess there was a reason for the 4+ hours of yard work!
Just once, I'd like a yard job that doesn't require getting
1. Grass clipping in my bra
2. Dirt of any kind in my bra
And today when we cut up 4 X 4's for the horseshoe pits...
3. Sawdust in my bra
I had to undress out on the step when I was finished the yardwork!
Oh, I meant to tell you..... We have a lady who comes once a week to the OFH to teach us painting.
She said she's a cross between Donna Dewberry, Bob Ross, and some Gerry guy I've never heard of.
Here's the first project we completed.
I was talking to mom, and told her we finished our first project, and I'd send it to her.
What kind of card did she want it to be?
She told me: "Well I've had to buy some thank you cards."
So that was a big fat hint!
I'm on the fourth one for her. I'll make half a dozen and send them off!
I have some more (Horrors) stamps coming. Had to get the ones on my list that were retiring!
Thought they'd be in Friday, but haven't heard from her yet!
So, we finished 2 boxes for the sand and the horseshoe pits. I sprayed round up, and in a couple days I'll put down the ground cover nad fill them with sand.
We can only throw them one way, cause Ray's not done hauling trees out of the corner, but it'll be better than nothing!
I also used the push mower this week, and did by the Saskatoons, rhubarb that's over there, and the chokecherry trees!
I hope I get enough Saskatoons for a pie or two! mmmmmmmm!
The blueberry bushes I bought this year also have huge berries on them, but they'll just be for eating fresh, there's not gonna be enough for anything! Ray says there's water in the muskeg, so maybe I'll have blueberries there this summer!
Better go, have to iron a shirt, and make dessert for my meeting tomorrow night!
Ta ta for now!
