I've never been so happy...

...to have an overcast, cool day in July.


I got so much done outside today, and was able to have a way longer yard work endurance due to the absence of the hot sun beating down on me. The downside is I feel like I'm walking a bit like Quasimodo. However, other than some crab grass between my hosta plants down the driveway and the huge suckers along the sides and backyard, I'm going to consider my weeding project as coming to a close. I actually see a light at the end of this green, leafy tunnel!


This is not to say I don't have a million other things to do out there. I have to clean out a whole array of different dead grasses, leaves, etc. It's the kind of cleanup one typically does after the last leaves fall in late autumn, so there's some catching up to do here. And yes, the gutters will be happening this summer, but Kevin made me promise not to do that when he's not home, and rightfully so. He'd probably come home from work to find me sprawled out on the lawn with two broken femurs. 


Sigh. Very much looking forward to yoga tonight, though I may never get up from savasana (corpse pose, if you're not hip to the Sanskrit.)

  1. I love the Quasimoto reference. That so reminded me of dad chasing us all down the supermarket aisles. Screaming emeralda at us while doing his Quasimoto walk and chasing us tthrough the market :-). You were so little I think you still got to ride in the cart!

  2. Hahahaha YES! When I wrote that post and mentioned Quasimoto, all I was thinking of was Dad. He used to do the same thing to me...hope he doesn't do that at my wedding...
