busy

I say that a lot, I guess. Now it's yard work. I spend all evening outside, working in the yard until it gets dark. I'll be doing that for the foreseeable future.

At least the grass is coming in. I was worried it wouldn't, since I have such poor luck with seed.

Here's my list from a week and a half ago. What have I gotten completed?

continue to water the grass seed every night (ongoing)
edge the lawn
plant more seed
buy more straw and spread it over the seed
change the oil in the tractor
sharpen the blades
clean the garage
dig up thistles (have done some)
clean up the shed (done with the west half)
do something about the mess that is the vegetable garden
chop back some bushes
do something about the voles

Busy? That sounds like an understatement! I have similar things to do with my yard but it seems a bit overwhelming so I'm putting off most of it till next year LOL!!

Working in the yard every night for two hours isn't that bad. It's not being able to do all the other things that need doing!

I think the two clean-up jobs sound like the worst part. We started on our garage before we left Spain and I think it may take us another month to finish when we get back. What can you do about voles?

Mousetraps. I just don't want a chipmunk or squirrel to get injured, since I'm not sure the traps are big enough to kill one.

Cleaning the shed and garage aren't that bad. Cleaning the garage consists mostly of cleaning the floor. It's still covered with grime and salt from the winter. The shed isn't that big, and I just have to straighten things a bit. Working on the tractor is the hardest part. I'm not sure I'll be able to loosen the bolts.
