The Yard Abides



I slept in until seven and now it's almost nine. It started getting hot outside around five. My backyard resembles Tarzan territory and the front? Well, I should have a car up on blocks in order to complete the look.

A slight exaggeration perhaps but that's how I feel.

A large straw hat, sun block, and plenty of water are now on my agenda. 

One consoling thought: yard work provides a vastly greater reward when it really, really, really needs to be done.

I love the insight that "yard work provides a vastly greater reward when it really, really, really needs to be done." There is intrinsic value in cleaning up the place.

Wally,

It is true. Who enjoys mowing grass that isn't very high?
