I did yard work today. Well, ‘yard work’ might be too strong a term, but I did some stuff for fifteen minutes outside, so that’s got to count for something. It was looking pretty rough out there, what with my white trash scattered about hither and yon. I gathered up the dozens of buckets and brought them inside.
Lloyd and/or I had every intention of mowing up the the leaves this weekend, but they were just too wet and would probably gum up the mower. or something like that.
I emptied out the rain barrel and dismantled ConBloGar and OvAmCuLad (that’s code for ‘Overly Ambitious Cucumber Ladder’).
It was sad to take it all down. Sadder still is that I didn’t have a good plan for putting the downspout back together after removing the rain barrel. It’s ‘done’ now, but it’s blessedly too dark to take a photo and show you how I ‘fixed it‘. Let’s just say that it would be a good thing if I could raise the whole yard about two feet and leave it at that.
It still needs work, but that’s for another year day.
