I have really been dragging on any new postings recently. Not a good thing! It just seems like things are so much busier right now. Like what you may ask? I don't know....just THINGS!
For one THING it is the beginning of spring and so much yard work has yet to be done. I wish it would just stay frozen over the winter and pick right back up where I left off. Nope! Weeds grow everywhere, mulch beds need replaced. Plantings need to be added and of course all the over growth needs to be cut back or cut out. Add this to all the other THINGS I am doing and I cannot keep up with the basic lawn mowing. Was out of town for two weeks and the front lawn was crazy.....what is worse that that? Well before I went out of town I didn't have time to mow the back lawn....Now that is a crazy jungle. I think our small pup felt he was in a safari every time he ventured out in the back for a pee. Poor guy.
RESULT: This weekend (before another rainfall) I got the front lawn mowed and bagged, I worked on another mulch bed that needed mulch work. Yes a play on words.....lol. (Keep in mind I probably have about 13 mulch beds around the house...why 13....because lawn work in itself is unlucky). I trim a few bushes and transplanted a bush/tree...whatever you call that THING. Oh yeah, if you ask me what plants I have in my yard....I don't know. It is a green tall thingy and the yellow flowers on a stick like branch and there are some growy purple stuff.....you get the idea! The most best piece (poor grammar is prevalent in today's writing) this weekend was a wack down of the back yard grass. It needs a couple more mows before it is back in shape but at least my pup can go out there without being threatened by wildlife.
STILL TO DO: I always have the "still to do" lists. They never end because I am never satisfied. These lists may last for days, weeks and yes even years. But at least I will add them today so we can all see my pathetic attempt to complete them this year. I need to remove all the stone patio that I put down a few years ago. The thought was a nice stone area to dine on in the evenings. The actual result... a constant weed battle that grew up between the cracks. I am over it. I will pull up the stone and use them as planter walls in the front yard and then add a concrete and stone (cannot describe because it is just a weird THING...that's what I do) in its place. Maybe a fountain THING, I will have to see how adventurous I am. I also need to replace all the patio furniture....it has met its day.....do you know how expensive that stuff is?! Crazy. Oh yeah and don't forget the sunscreen trellis THING over the the wood patio that has been planned for maybe 5 years.....still not built. I did get the posts buried in concrete at the edge of the deck. Speaking of deck....It all needs replaced as it is beginning to deteriorate. One area is torn up due to pup getting stuck under the deck last year just before a thunder storm. I had to tear up a chunck of it to get him out.
So there is one THING. But now I am too tired to type about all the others. I could mention, work...see my business blog....if I can keep up with that too, travel (vacation)...yes that is a thingy too.... a much needed thingy from all the other thingys, Finish the inside of the house....too long of a list to notate, the need for new interior furniture, the diet and health thingy.....doing good there! To date over the last 9 weeks I have lost over 30 pounds.....yeah! Now I have to work at the running part. Another 8K thingy in a few weeks. Am I missing something else?...probably so. I guess I better stop writing this blog thingy and get up and start working on some of these other thingys......just after one more cup of coffee.....My friends....enjoy your day....before you know it...it will have slipped away and you will have filled it up with a bunch of THINGYS!
