Every Sunday for the past 3 weeks, Chris and I have been outside doing tons and tons of yardwork! It is never ending either. We have only tackled the first third of the yard. The grass grows insanely as do the weeds. Every week I try to get a new area of all the 7 gardens the previous owner had planted. I want to kill the previous owner. Seven flower beds is a lot especially when they fill with dead leaves and garbage. I eventually will get around to getting rid of all but 4 of them but in the meantime, I have to do what I can. Don't get me wrong, I love getting my hands dirty in the dirt. I love it. But to a certain extent. I want a yard that maybe requires 2-3 hours of yardwork a week. That to me is perfect! Not our yard. It requires 10 hours a week atleast. We really need to get another garbage can too. We have no room for our actual garbage due to all the dead grass, twigs, and bush trimmings.
So here is week 3 of our springtime cleanup. I have to hand it to Chris, he has been slaving away. He has worked a lot harder than I have. I reach my limit after hour 3. Not him, he can work for 8 hours, pouring sweat and he keeps going. I love watching him from inside. He is cute. Today he went to home depot and bought all kinds of fun guy yardwork stuff. I have no idea what they are but he spent quite a bit of money on hedgers and all sorts of attachments. He showed them to me when he got home and was so excited. I smiled and pretended to know what all the things would do.

I have never seen your yard look more beautiful! Great job you guys! Dave and I started yardwork this past weekend and holy crap you're right it's a ton of work. I worked 8 hours yesterday literally till the sun went down and I'm soooo sore today not to mention sunburnt. Sunblock! Damn it! I have to say the rewards are absolutely worth it! I walked outside this morning with a big smile on my face. We are almost backyard BBQ ready! I'm so excited to have friends over this summer for some fun in the sun!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Is that the view from your yard? It's breathtaking! No wonder everyone in Utah is so happy!
