Work to do

The cooler weather means that maybe I can actually get some work done in the yard. I have given myself the rest of September to tackle our overgrown backyard. I am done in front, but by done I just mean tired. There is still lots to do, but I take comfort in the fact that it will soon be covered in snow and no one will be able to tell exactly what I didn't get done. The main front flower area looks good though.


In the back I need to weed the rose garden, weed under the deck, and weed the dirt and weed area. It is also our garden, but it mostly doesn't know that. I did finally find good weed block fabric, so I will get more of that and place it down all around the areas I weed in the hope that next year I can just landscape rather than wrestle weeds for the first half of the summer.

I refuse to accept that summer is over. Yes, it's not 90 degrees, but until I NEED a jacket to go outside, it is summer!

I plan to turn to the inside of the house come October, mainly because of the fact that my belly will probably get in the way of much of my outside work by then. So far there isn't much of a belly, but there sure is a baby in there. She likes to kick and push me at the same time. It is a strange feeling. I have also surmised that she likes chocolate. Every time I eat it, she flutters around happy! -Jenni
