• Planned: Weights
• Actual: 60 min pulling grass and digging
  

I'm sore all over so I don't want to do weights for formal exercise now.

I started laying out a new tree ring planting bed with a 25 ft garden hose and began clearing the grass. LOTS of grass. Ugh.

(Paul asked me if I was enjoying the yardwork since he noticed I've been flinging myself into it since last week. I said yes, because it stays done for a while, unlike work inside the house which gets undone in a matter of hours. Very annoying.)

Got sick and tired of having to struggle with gnarly tree roots when I mow.

I love the tree. It's huge, old, shady, camphor (insect repellent) and great! But it has roots that come up and spread out and maneuvering the lawn mower around them or over them to get the grass is a drag. Decided to just pull up all the grass to the edges of the exposed stuff and plant small things in that area.

Picked up weed cloth and then edging so I can get that down before I go back to get mulch and plants. I know if I don't get to do it I can have the playgroup moms who are coming to my house in two weeks for working playdate can help me.I just want the supplies on hand. Probably need more edging though. May have to get some more this week or early next.

Another 2 big trash bags full of yard waste. So that's 8 bags since Friday. More to go. Yargh.

Have to figure where the nearest pool supply is so I can get diatomaceous earth to use for organic/green insect control.

I keep asking myself why I got a Honda Accord instead of a truck. Other than the fact that trucks aren't a good for car seats. Sigh.
