The past 2 weekends I got some "put off chores" accomplished.
One main activity, that I am glad is now over, was done this past Saturday morning. Ros (my hired yard help) and I loaded and unloaded 5 pickup truck loads of old firewood. We moved the firewood from behind the house, from under the tractor shed, and from one of the barn stalls........ to the woods. I did my share of the work, or should I say, my third of the work. It took us 4 steady hours. I expected my muscles to be sore from pitching those logs .......but they're not. I must be in better shape than I gave myself credit.
The other chores that I did by myself included...... brush 2 outdoor dogs, refill all the bird feeders (hummingbird and seed feeders), replace light bulbs on the deck, spray an ant trail, clean winter leaves out of the rustic yard water fountain and got it pumping again, and FINALLY poured 25 lbs. of fish fertilizer in each of the 2 ponds.
Still had time for some "Cindy Time", including walking among the wild blackberry trails. I did not save any blackberries that I picked for later.......ate all as fast as I picked them.
There are still dirt dobber nests to destroy, wasps nests to spray, mouse traps to check, and weeds to pull from perennial flower beds, etc. etc. I might even have Ros to teach me how to operate the grass mower this summer.
