Yardwork

I've been itching to get yardwork done... but I'm afraid I won't be able to do much this summer. Being pregnant really takes the breath right out of me. I mowed the lawn today, and it was much more difficult than I remember it ever being. I will need to take care of a lot of the garbage on the yard... much of which was knocked from the trees during the windstorms during winter... the remainder being dragged on the yard by the dog. Hopefully I will be able to at least do some yardwork... at least enough to keep the yard in decent shape... but I probably will need Chuck to do the pushmowing. I'd try to do it in two different time slots, but I hate only half finishing and having to go back. Sigh.

Otherwise, I really want to level out certain parts of the lawn as it will make mowing easier later (right now it's terrible), and plant grass... maybe even sod as planting last time didn't work... I still have dirt in many areas. I want to fix the fire pit too so we can use it again... and remove annoying branches and dead trees. Planting hedges would be nice as it would "clean up" certain edges of the yard and require less mowing between trees and clipping with scissors. All will make my job easier... but require so much work first. And money! I can't believe how much dirt costs, lol. I don't think I'll be bothering with flowers or a garden until I can get this stuff done.

Anyway, that's my thought on the day. Hope you all have fun planning your yards and working outdoors once again! This weather is beautiful!
