Things have been VERY busy around these parts. Gil and I have been getting off our bums and getting some real yard work done. Tonight my body hurts all over because we spent the whole day in the yard pushing, pulling, planting, mowing and sweating. I feel so guilty that I have let the beautiful yard go to pot it was so lovely when we moved here. However I found it totally over whelming. Nothing in my experience prepared me for this yard. But I have decided to end the stalemate and perhaps the effort will end my funk. I want a pretty yard. I really do. I don't know why it matters but it does.
