Yard Work
A little over 10 years ago when I first started doing a lot of work in the yard, I was only able to work about 15 minutes at a time at the beginning of the season. Little by little I've built up strength, and Aquarobics has helped with that a lot. Today I was able to do an hour for my first work in the yard this season. I feel tired but I feel really good about the work I got accomplished.
I got several of the front beds cleared out, but of course there is still the side beds and the back beds to go. What I discovered today is that even though the real plants were sleeping in their winter beds, the spurious plants were vigorously growing. Rake away the mat of leaves and there underneath are thriving weeds growing up faster than the bulbs and perennials which are just beginning to peek through the soil. No wonder we can't get ahead of the weeds!
It's supposed to rain tonight so I may not be able to do much in the yard tomorrow. But it's still early in the season, --it's just that we get so eager to get the yard back to order again. Winter takes its toll!
