Yay Me

Yay me, I did the yard work all by myself this morning. While Brad went off to tennis I started on the yard work. I even trimmed up the pink blossom tree. Is it perfect? No, it's not perfect but it's so much better than it was. I've never done much yard work that's required using a trimmer or mower. I'm new to that type of stuff. Yard work I've done in the past has been raking up leaves and planting flowers/herbs/veggies.

I'm not new to doing the yard work here at the house but like I just stated its been the easier stuff. Some weeks back I tackled the backyard and raked up 18 bags worth of leaves. There's 14 trees in our backyard and now that September has arrived they are already dropping leaves. Boy was my husband surprised when he got home that evening. Brad actually didn't believe I did all the work by myself. He assumed I had his dad come help and he wasn't happy that I would "bother" his dad. So it took me a few minutes to convince him I raked up all those bags worth of leaves by myself.

As surprising as it might be I'm not afraid of yard work. I'm not afraid of getting dirty. Perhaps no one believes me, except for my mom. She would believe me. I see something that needs to be done and I do it! Simple as that. I don't get caught up in waiting for Brad to do it when he gets home, If I go ahead and get something done like yard work, that's more time for us to spend together watching a movie and relaxing later on.
