Exceedingly Mundane

Yardwork~

Spring has arrived and the yardwork begins…mowing, trimming, gardening, etc.

By the way…

Who does the yardwork in your family, or do you hire someone? Tim does it all but the flowers and watering. He cuts the grass, weedeats, aerates, fertilizes, cuts down trees, makes flower beds, runs the tiller, and builds awesome decks 😀 He’s a keeper!

Are you a “no weeds in my yard” perfectionist, or do you let the weeds rule? I don’t like weeds. I will let them slide for a while, but eventually it gets to me and I have to pull them up. Out of the flower beds, that is. I have learned to live with them in the grass. They come, they sprout, we mow them. At least they’re green!

Thinking about the yardwork, does it make you want winter back? Sort of. As much as I love things blooming and buying all the pretty flowers to plant, the actual process I dislike these days. And the incessant watering of them all summer. I plant too many pots and planters and they really need to be watered every day in our heat. The grass will need it too… we’ll have a long hot, dry summer, I’m afraid, like last year.
