Dan got up and mowed the back yard. Because of the rain and his getting home so late, the weeds in the back became the jungle in the back. Here is a picture. The cats just LOVED it.
Tiger and Argo played jungle kitties all over.
Here is another picture. A perspective so you can see just how tall the weeds were. I was worried about Dan mowing. He has a issue where it seems the slightest exertion on his part makes him sweat like he just ran a hundred miles. I had to stop him a couple times so he could drink some water to stay hydrated.
He got it all done and when I went out to see it, his face was pale white. When he came in the house, a minute later his face was so red. I am really hoping it was not sunburn.
I decided he needed a rest and so we snuggled up on our bed and watched The Deathly Hallows. Then he took a nap. I figured we'd get started on the front later in the day so that it wouldn't be so hot. but now it looks very overcast. Plus I once again am not feeling good.
It's a usual occurrence, but I am getting a bit miserable about it. Tired of wanting to do stuff but not having the umpf to do it. It's not fair to Dan that I want to do all this stuff, but I can't so he has to.
I bought some raspberry bushes and strawberry plants. We are going to plant them out front. First we had to take out the rose bushes. They looked dead. Nothing growing. So we clipped them down and got ready to dig out the roots. Dan came upon a big giant root. We can't seem to find the end, so we thought it must be the Cherry tree, and I was all about his getting out his Christmas present from Bill, his little hatchet.
But we've not had a chance w/all the rain and other stuff, so the root has just sat exposed for a few weeks. Thursday I noticed that it had something on it. I got closer and sure enough it was growing. and not a cherry tree. it's the damn supposed to be dead rose bush.
It's still gonna have to go. I want strawberries. I'm really wanting to make jam and stuff.
So here is hoping tomorrow is nice too. We're gonna set up the GARDEN!
