WORK WORK WORK
DH and I did a lot of physical work today at Mother’s house. My muscles are already beginning to stiffen and he just said he was so tired he would probably not be able to go to sleep for a while. You wanna know what we did??? Well, I will begin by saying Mother might be disappointed if she were still here.
We cut back bushes and cut down bushes and cut back some more. It has probably been 3 or 4 years since any serious trimming was done to the shrubs and it was past time. Some of them had grown to the point they were against the house and this was not good. No bushes or shrubs are against the house now and have been trimmed to 3 or 4 feet from the house.
We ran out of time before we ran out of bushes but got the most important ones done. She had some type of flowering vine that just wrapped itself around what ever got in its path, kinda like a wisteria vine does. While he was moving yard sale stuff in the yard that didn’t sale to the barn, I cut one of the vines from the blueberries. After he and I went all around the house he cut down another one that was choking the sweet shrubs. I mean we cut down not trimmed, down to the ground, hopefully cut so that they will not thrive.
DH said he would like to go back and cut more, but I am working tomorrow and he starts night shift Sunday. Maybe we can go back when he gets back on days or maybe the guy that is suppose to rent the house will do it. I prefer that we do it this time, since they are so overgrown.
I really had rather be in the yard working than in the house.
My very good friend from school came out today and bought $20. worth of left over yard sale items. Her husband also got some items and said after he figured out the use he would get me a donation from those involved. I told him ‘don’t worry about that, at least they are now gone from here’.
