So, have you ever had busy but great weeks? Yeah, me too. This week is one of them. We have been working our butts off in the yards. Yes, yards plural. No, we are not that rich. We sometimes are lucky to have this one. There have been the busy but not fun weeks too. I hate those.
Anyhow, for Mother's Day this year, we decided we were going to really spruce up our yard here and add mounds of new flowers. Which I am super happy about. I am addicted. A flat of newly seeded flowers is my crack. And gardening is my drug of choice. So, we hauled butt and really worked hard. We even mulched with the "organic" mulch from last year. I wrote about it. The organic-that-smells-worse-than-six-diaper-genies mulch. Hey, it's good for the plants.
Anyhow, so for Mike's Mom's Mother's Day (are all those little 's grammatically correct. I don't know either.) we decided to do a little overhaul onher yard as well. Sounds simple right? WRONG. Her house must be built on broken up concrete, the graveyard for every landscaping stone ever used, the largest broken terra cotta collection, and all out hard as concrete dirt. It has been back breaking hard work. I feel like I am on a chain gang here. Just throw me a jumpsuit. Well, maybe not a whole piece job. I never looked good in those in the early 90's. I can assure you things have only gone down hill since Jr High. So, we have put in, oh, about 9 hours so far and I would say we hit the mid-way point last night. Digging up the entire South Westerns region of Ohio, also known as Kim's front yard hs gone a little slow. Since we have no tiller, all manual labor is being done with TWO SHOVELS. I swear, this is love.
So, while I would be happy to entertain you with the super exciting tales of how I need to clean my house before we have company next Wednesday, I am needing to soak my blisters before this afternoon.
I just wanted to say hello to everyone. Oh! So, if you ever find yourselves in Vegas and need a few bodies "disposed" of. Call me. I can dig a mean hole.
