Yard Work

Well, they don't call "yard work" for nothing. I can barely move and while the yard does look a bit better.... there's still a long way to gooooooooooo.... it's never ending! I can't believe people actually enjoy this stuff. I like the finished product, only problem is it doesn't stay finished very long. The weeds come back, the grass grows, the dogs destroy that which we don't want desecrated and won't go near the parts of the yard we could care less about.

If we had a cute little California-sized yard it wouldn't be much of an issue. Unfortunately we have about 1.5 acres to maintain. It's a bit overwhelming for city folk like the hubby and me. Sure, the lush green trees, shrubs, plants, etc. are beautiful to look at, but preserving them in a natural, yet contained, state is time consuming and a Herculean like task. I really shouldn't complain so much, it's the poor hubby who does most of the work. He's the Mower Man, Trim Dude, and Wheel Barrow Buddy all in one!
