I’m devoting this week to taking back control of my yard. I’ve spent hours each day mowing, trimming trees and shrubs, edging sidewalks and patios, and various and sundry things needed done to make my landscaping presentable. Sadly, the lack of rain and attention means my yard is also sort of crunchy now.
All that work means that I’m a little crunchy too… or my old rheumatism plagued joints are crunchy. I feel every minute of hard labor in these old bones, but I have more work left to do.
I’ll take the weekend off… get the menfolk to fetch for me… maybe get a little silver bell to call them.
(I do the yard work because, even though my body objects, I enjoy it. The menfolk work hard outside the house, I work hard around the house.)
